I decided last week that I must start coming off some of the tablets. First one to try? Omeprazole. So, mindfull of all the 'yogurt' posts I'd read, I decided to buy 6 live yoghurt (I've never seen a dead one :lol: ) and give it a go. First day, brilliant - no stomach ache or upset. Day two - brilliant again. Day three - ditto? Day four? I found ALL 6 yoghurts were still in the fridge grinning at me and that I hadn't eaten any of them :yikes: I must be a dead ringer for the 'placebo' effect! I feel really quite silly (and delighted that I can boot the Omeprazole out of the door). Next one on the list? Alendronic Acid :D :magic:

    beev - only suggested G&T to get the concept of a better alcohol to non-alcohol ration! Don't like mixing my wine with anything - spritzer occasionally but I'd rather have the wine in one glass and water in another! :lol:

    Lizzie Ellen - I want a doc like yours - one who will take time and listen and explain. I was spoilt years ago with docs like that. Then I moved to England. The doc with time wasn't the best of clinicians though we got on very well and he was very useful and the better one at diagnostics never has time. Oh well!! :roll:
