My problem appeared out of nowhere 4 days before my 40th birthday. It was so bad I rushed myself to the hospital (while on the cell phone with 911) convinced I had been poisoned and would soon die. The tingling, odd sensations, pounding heartbeat and overall sense of dread pretty much brought on a panic attack. The hospital found nothing wrong and didn't diagnose anything. A nurse believed I was in trouble and at the very end of my stay gave me some sort of upset stomach medicine like milk of magnesia - even though nothing in my symptoms said "stomach problem". It kinda worked so I did my own research on stomach problems, then the tv started showing ads for Zantac and I found a new doctor and everything fell into place. If you have damage to your esophagus - sores or ulcers you will not be able to tolerate strong acid drinking like apple cider vinegar or pickle juice. It will be very painful. I slurp a capful of vinegar off and on throughout the day and always before I lay down to sleep. Other people drink much more. It is very harsh and hard to swallow and in the beginning you will think you've just poisoned yourself. It is hard medicine but very cheap to buy and the most affective treatment for GERD for me. It doesn't work for everyone. For me, the position of my neck seems to affect my chest quivering. If I bend my neck forward, where my chin is close to my chest it will upset my esophagus and I will have problems (either immediately or days later). I have to sleep with my shoulders raised up on a thin pillow so that my neck does not bend while I sleep. My biggest problem is rolling over in my sleep and sleeping on my stomach (face down). This will push the top of my stomach up through my diaphragm and cause all sorts of pain and discomfort - quivering for days, general unease, touchy and nervous all the time. When your stomach pokes up through your diaphragm it is called a Hiatal Hernia. Mine doesn't do it often and it always slides back down into the correct position so my doctor called it a sliding hiatal hernia (they don't do surgery to repair them). When mine gets bad I find that walking around is the best treatment - the dog gets plenty of midnight walks around the block when things get bad. With my GERD problems, taking the pills calmed things down and after a month or so I was back to normal with the occassional problem. I understood what caused my issues and tried to keep them under control. I cannot eat a large meal after 4 oclock in the evening. I eat my largest meal at lunch time. I can eat anything I want at breakfast unless I know I rolled over in my sleep and upset my esophagus, then I will eat a small boring breakfast without anything strong or sweet tasting. I snack all day. When my GERD is acting up I cannot eat anything extra sweet or flavorful - one jelly bean will cause a weeks worth of problems. I also have to avoid citrus fruits when things are bad. It is a big problem when you're sharing space with people that don't have this problem - people that want to eat pizza as an evening meal, people that enjoy going out late in the evening and eating large amounts of spicy food. You just can't. Your chest will teach you the hard way. After a couple of rounds of painful episodes you'll change your habits. I did not enjoy the endoscopy. But they knock you out completely. There was not any pain or discomfort afterwards. I had it done over 10 years ago and I'm sure they are better at it nowadays. It was nice to see the video of my esophagus and stomach and have everything explained to me. It is the only way to see what's going on. I have since moved to a new state/new city and I have since also had a colonoscopy which went much smoother. If I ever need another endoscopy I will make sure I do it at the same clinic that performed the colonoscopy, they were very good at it.

I would suggest you not try to treat this yourself. Visit a doctor. It could be tennis elbow, but in my opinion it doesn't sound like that's what it is. You could have a torn muscle or a torn ligament or any one of a dozen things. Treating it yourself or letting it go, you might end up with permanent damage. See a doctor!!!

I used to have romantic (not sexual) dreams about people I felt absolutely no attraction to in my waking life. These dreams always confused me and made me wonder if I was harboring some secret attraction. I kept having these dreams even after I married. Most recently, I had an odd dream. My niece had sent pictures of her new baby, but they all came through as postage stamp size and when I tried to enlarge them they were blurry. That night, I dreamed that I got to see the baby and she was just like a little white slug that they carried around on their hands. And they were all laughing about it. I asked my sister how they got her pictures to look like she was a normal size baby, and my sister responded that it was "easy." Hmm I've never had flying dreams, but I have had those dreams where I keep trying to accomplish something and can't seem to get it done. Too real to be enjoyable. :)

My d and b12 were on the low side so my doctor recommended taking only those daily until my numbers were higher. once I was at the desired level I now take one of each suppement every third day in the lowest dose I can find. My hematologist suggested that I eat more oranges or have a glass of juice for vitamin c every day because I bruise easily. He tested my V C it was in range the day of the test so advised against buying C supplements. He thinks supplements are not necessary nor helpful without proof of deficiency. He dislikes how high the doses are compared to what most people really need. Like too much protein, too much of certain vitamins can be very hard on the kidneys. If on any meds, including low dose aspirin, many vitamins and fish oils may be counter indicative always ask your doctor first. Also if you have autoimmune disease many supplements are harmful. If post menopause Iron supplements can cause heart damage our iron needs drop significantly in our later years.
