Welll its been two months now Gabby free..must say I am feeling better than I was two months ago.

​Question to anyone going thru this..I can understand the anxiety, nervousness, no sleep, headaches because this messes with your brain but why does it interfer with your stomach so much???

​Would appreciate any input to this..only problem I am having right now. Appetite is a little better but still have that upset, bloated feeling..not all the time but off and on.

Thanks. rolleyes

      It's an anti-depressant!  It's questionable why a new doctor gave me gab on top of them

    I'm very restricted with the meds I take because I take warfarin (Coumadin). I just hope I can wake up one day soon feeling as if I'm functioning properly

    Hi Sandy. It is the anxiety that is giving you stomach issues. I ave had the same thing, and still do. Your stomach has as many nerve endings as your brain, so all the stress can play havoc with you stomach. Have you asked your doctor for anything to help? Try taking a daily pro-biotic which has helped me a bit. Also was prescribed Omeprazole 20 mg once daily before food to help with digestion. So annoying all these symptoms we put up with!!! 

    Hope all is well smile

      Might be aniery with my stomach. There were days when my whole insides shook.

      Taking each day at a time. Dr said to try over the counter meds. But I will give it some more time. Only meds in me now are BP meds!!

      Hang in there. smile

      Sounds like aniety sad. I'm having exactly the same issue. The movement inside my chest and stomach is a horrible feeling, and makes me think the worst most times. Meds which allow your stomach to settle have helped a ton. God i hope this all settles down soon...we have all been through so much! Thanks sandy....all the best smile
