    Sorry to hear this, Zoltania! I had post-operative afib, for which three months of warfarin and Amiodarone sufficed, because my heart calmed down after a few weeks.

    Possible strep throat and ensuing problems was Question about Omeprazole

    It sounds like heaps of misery! I'm so sorry all this has piled on and that the antibiotic harmed you this way. Hoping the lansoprazole will help you heal quickly and that the nutritional drinks stabilize your weight. I know you're more than ready to be able to enjoy meals again.

    Generic Warfarin versus Coumadin?...

    For what it's worth, my mom had a need to take brand-name Coumadin. She was on it from 1991 till her passing a few years ago. Her INR absolutely wouldn't stabilize on generic warfarin. She did home testing for years. During the few weeks that I had post-operative afib and was on warfarin in...

    Anne, I'm so sorry you've had these awful travails with your stomach just from taking the antibiotic a few days! Burning tummy and esophagus are a miserable kind of suffering. I am so sorry that eating is such a problem, especially with you being so petite as it is. And I hate that you can't...

    Dealing With a Loss

    Sounds like you and she are bonding very well. I'm sure you're delighted that she's turned out to be a cuddly girl. It's not hard for me to imagine how much you miss Dixie. I lost Marissa, truly my heart dog, to a malignancy in early 2018. Dogs are wonderful, companionable creatures!
