Thanks for all your replies!
It really sounds like Canada isn't the promised land I thought it was. I used to dream about moving there but Healthcare seems worse than ours! I'm sorry to hear about how much you have to struggle just to get a doctor. Here we can choose our primary clinic according to law but we cannot choose which doctor in the clinic will see us. I've already tried tried 2 clinics and I'm on my 3rd.Problem here is that most clinics have foreign doctors often not fluent in Swedish and often way too authorative with low respect for women plus not well educated. I often know a lot more about my illnesses than doctor do because I do so much research. I want a doctor to be respectful of my input since I ve lived with my body for 60 years and I know it better than the doctor. I want to be able to have an intelligent conversation and not be told I Google too much. Doctors are not gods and they don't know everything. I'm very sceptical to medications in general and I prefer an integrative approach. Very little research ha been done on why some people have a genetic makeup that makes them intolerant to medications. They just want to prescribe pills. I have had bad reactions to most medications, probably also because of my compromised microbiome and inflammation. I have severe Rosacea and many signs of inflammation in my body but my crp is 5 so it doesn't show.
I really hope the find something fixable with my head cause this is unbearable. I need to know also if there's evidence of a possibility of a reaction to the Prilosec and nexium. I know that I have a very severe problem with my reflux and if I can't take ppis then I am doomed because I really really can't take pepcid. That is what worries me the most right now. My stomach is so very bad but Im so afraid to try Prilosec and get a massive seizure or something. I took 5 pepcid over 2,5 days and quit yesterday and today my head pressure is off the charts. I started jerking my head again. If that is because of pepcid which I wasn't even on when this started then I'm afraid I could die if I tried Prilosec. I'm just so scared.
Thanks for being so kind. We could talk on msn if you want a friend in Sweden

@tinatoren I agree with you 100%!

Yes we certainly can talk further on problems with healthcare, etc. on Messenger. I have sent you a private message. This way, we can keep this thread on topic so you don’t miss out on other useful information from other members on your original question.
