GERD (gastro esophageal reflux disease) is a chronic acid reflux disease than currently is burning my lungs and my throat and vocal cords. I drew this during a flare up.

Chronic heartburn, or GERD, is recurring acid reflux causing a burning sensation in the chest. It results from a weakened lower esophageal sphincter. Symptoms include chest pain, regurgitation, cough, and difficulty swallowing. Diagnosis involves medical history, examination, and tests like endoscopy. Lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes surgery can help manage chronic heartburn.

The death of me isn't the death of us/AKA what not to say to your disabled friend
TDLR - Me being disabled doesn't disable you, and if you think it does THAT is what will be the death of us, not my body.
I'm so tired of telling my friends that I've dislocated a joint after they ask if I'm okay only for them to complain
OMG that's so gross
Does that mean we can't hang out?
I'm so tired of telling my friends that I'm vomiting acid only for them to complain
That sounds disgusting! Remind me never to ask around lunch time if you're okay
OMG I can practically feel it myself
I'm so tired of them asking over and over if it'll shorten my life span or be the thing that kills me.
I'm so tired of them asking if I've found a cure, or if yoga or meditation had helped.
I'm so tired of them acting like me being disabled is death.
I'm so tired of them acting like by association they have one foot in the grave.

does anyone know how to find what triggers GERD? i cant figure it out at all and ive dealt with it for about 2 years now, i eat about the same thing every day and sometimes im completely fine and some days it feels like a genuine heart attack. im celiac but asymptomatic so i cant tell if smth i ate was contaminated, but ive had flareups when ive made food entirely on my own and its food that ive had a million times. having a flareup rn and am very miserable and want to stop it

My stomach hurts and I feel nauseated and there’s random heartburn (even though I took my acid reflux meds today). Bad enough I’m definitely not getting to sleep anytime soon. What is going on, body? Is it the drainage? Stupid mucus not sitting well? Ugh.

Pharmacies should make it easier to transfer prescriptions. I’m missing my PPI I feel so sick right now. And the day after getting an oral piercing too. I hope to god I don’t throw up that would literally be the worst case scenario right now

If you have acid reflux and get a lot of nausea, I suggest laying or leaning to your left side. This trick has quelled many nausea episodes that could easily have ended with me at the toilet. It takes advantage of the shape of the stomach. It has to be the left, that's the side of the curve, the right can make it worse. It's just using gravity to your advantage. If it doesn't work in 15 minutes, then I reach for the antacid or zofran.

Do you ever grieve the functionality your body used to have? Is this a universal feeling with age? What if my body never functioned properly from the beginning? Am I allowed to grieve the days I've had to sacrifice to recover from my pain?

The endless cycle of needing to drink barrels of coffee to combat the chronic fatigue only for the acid reflux to kick in meaning I need to stop drinking coffee only for the chronic fatigue to kick in meaning—

PSA to my fellow spoonies: maybe consider spacing out your vaccines instead of getting a flu shot and a covid booster at the same time, thus reducing yourself to a sweating, shaking ball of excruciating joint pain.
Sincerely, this idiot who got them in their lying down arm.
