Thanks Jack - yes I won't take the lanzoprozole tomorrow so I hope to take quite a few sublingual lozenges.
The situation is getting desperate - can't eat or talk much without pain.
JL - well since I had the h-pylori problem I have gone off my food - salads, green things - seem to want more carbs and that doesn't help the mag situation. I take 200mg if I remember. Not nearly enough is it? I was thinking of trying another brand to see if it's better absorbed. I've no idea what lidocaine is though - will have to look it up. After I take some mag. :/
Also the iron. My iron is usually low so have been trying to take the supps daily but I am taking more sups than food, so it doesn't happen daily. My GP said my iron is usually low - so wasn't worried. But that could explain the h-pylori. I should have stuck to it. I need to refresh my memory on which sups can be taken together. Beef for dinner tonight I think….
Thanks for the links and info JL.
I guess it will take a while for these things to work. I have not been able to go to work due to the pain and the inability to talk. Not that it triggers every time but it's not very professional to be sitting at a meeting and pulling faces when the TN strikes
Thanks for your help - I knew this was the best place to come! J x
