patgundOkay, found out the Protonix, (which sounds less like a medication and more like some weird ex-soviet space rocket), is what my mom and another friend with GERD, (or GORD for the Brits reading this), took. And it's job is to heal the damage caused by the fact that the stomach, merry bastard that it is, has been having fun squirting drano as far up my esophagus as it possibly can. I can see it with a little score card going "Yes! I got it all the up to the sinuses! Double points!)
However, it's not allowed to do this anymore. So now my throat has that raspy just after a cold feeling. Which is horrid but is better than the alternative,
The problem being, of course, is that my lungs, since they no longer have to keep producing mucus to protect them from the acid, are hard at work trying to get rid of all this glop they produced. And the only way it can do this is coughing. Hard, violent, hacking coughs. Coughs that bruise the diaphram and make one believe that maybe the feeling of drowning in my own glop isn't such a bad feeling anymore.
It would have to be less painful just to pour a batch of drano into my lungs and get done with it. Oh, sure, it would burn though the diaphram and lungs and be at least fairly lethal, but it would have to hurt less,
Oh well, I should have this junk out of my lungs by friday or so,
Still having something playing merry hell with my bank account. I'm not only missing about $475, but my account is actually -$158. I'm getting a new debt card and the old one is getting closed, but I still have to wait with $47 to my name until my next payday, which is the 30th......
Growl.
