Medicine and foods can cause GERD. I have found eating dry whole wheat foods (like tricutts) cause me to get GERD; especially if I do this just before bedtime. Prednisone increases my GERD attacks....

Kudos to Long John Silvers. When I ordered the fried fish and I mentioned I had allergies to shellfish, she told me the fried fish was fried in the same oil as the shellfish and maybe I shouldn't try...
Depends on what you're allergic to and what your symptoms are. Recently I've tried taking "Advair" because I have a reaction to pet dander. I tried the 24 hr kind. Compared to not taking anything and...

I'm not a doctor. But so much of finding what you're allergic to is just comparing one environment to another. I'm allergic to mold. If I stay in a hotel and the a/c is moldy, I have all sorts of...
I've been told to walk daily and eat less to lose weight. BUT nothing dries out my lungs as much as walking or running for some reason. When I was young, it didn't seen to but as I got older and my...

Yes I have spoken to my doctor. It seems like it's a genetic thing that came on after menopause. Has to be lack of estrogen and progesterone. Thanks for responding. It's not life threatening so I...
Anyone know what kind of disease this is considered. Before menopause, my joints were strong. After menopause, they feel loose and dangly. I still take HRT so I'm still able to play tennis. But...
