Hi,
I have multiple health issues as well and I’m 62. Right now I’m suffering with Gerd and burning mouth that was caused by either anxiety and depression or the medication prescribed for that or both. I’ve had no life whatsoever being in constant pain with no relief so far from any of the meds my doctor has given for this condition. My husband is very supportive but I feel awful for him that I’ve become this old invalid, and he just retired and is ready to enjoy going out. I feel so helpless even with therapy and journaling because I don’t see an end to this pain. Has anyone ever dealt with this before?

@cdesharn I understand GERD.
Over the last year, I thought I had bronchitis because I was coughing all night, and bring up thick mucus.
My doctor told me that my lungs were clear and he didn’t know why I had the cough.
I decided to go to my Ear Nose, and Throat doctor. He looked up my nose and down my esophagus.
The problem was stomach acid. The acid was coming up and burning my throat and vocal cords. The thick mucus was my body’s way of protecting itself. Unfortunately, it made me cough up all night.
The ENT told me to take liquid Mylanta just before bed, and raise up my head with a 10” wedge pillow.

I am doing better now.
I hope this helps.
