Hi, I'm 19, I have GERD, a hiatial hernia, a lax esophogeal sphincter.
lifestyle changes, I could function without medications (no insurance). Over the past few months I have been getting worse have new symptoms: extreme fatiuge, dizzyness, hot face neck (without fever), rapid pulse along shortness of breath, intense stomach cramping. I only can eat Cheerios. I work full-time, but I am not eligable for health insurance until May.
days are filled with pain, nausa, I barely make it. I don't think we can live if I don't work, the economy is disasterous here. I can't go on dissability because I would have to be out of work for 5 months before I could even apply. I have money saved up to get married, but its not much it would break my heart to have to spend it.
only way I can get better is with medical treatment bedrest. I'm afraid of ulcers internal bleeding. I am scared feel very alone helpless. If anyone has any advice it would be much apreciated. Thanks.
