For me

I request the prayers of members here. I am having severe stomach problems. I went to the doctor a month ago and got a prescription, but it hasn't really helped.

 

Thank you all very much.

I have had stomach problems off and on for years, since I started teaching public school in 1993. I was prescribed maximum strength Zantac, for an inflamed duodenum, and that helped. When I quit teaching in the public schools in 2006, my stomach got better, and I was able to get off the Zantac.

However, in early September, I suddenly started having problems again, and this has gotten worse, despite going back on the Zantac. I could attribute the problem to stress -- family health and other issues. But this time the symptoms are kind of different, and more severe. And the Zantac hasn't helped. That's troubling. I went back to the doc today, and she changed my prescription to Prevacid. I guess if that doesn't work, it'll be time for tests. I no longer have health insurance, however; I teach college courses online -- contract work with no benefits. So, cost is a factor for me. If I could make payments, that would work.

Anyway, hope it's nothing worse than an ulcer.

Again, thank you all for your prayers; please continue.

P.S. My mom goes back for a checkup tomorrow; last pet scan 3 months ago did not detect any cancer. Please pray for her, too.

 

Thank you very much.
