Don't Worry, You Are Not Dying!
It is quite likely that you have
thought that there was a problem. All of those unpleasant
symptoms and never-ending colds might have made you think
that it is cancer or something worst. If that was in fact
the case then hearing that you have
gastro esophageal
reflux disease(GERD) must come as a bit of relief. On
the other hand if you just thought that you had a slight
case of indigestion this news will not be so
welcoming.
The
reality is that you are joining a huge population of
individuals that have been diagnosed with the same illness.
Judging things form a simple statistical perspective, my
friend, the odds were against you. It is more likely to develop
acid reflux than any other stomach condition that you will find
in the medical books. I am not counting common ailments such as
the common flu with vomiting or diarrhea. Even though you
probably never wanted to be a part of it, there are much worst
things out there. I recommend to take the old Bruce Lee saying
and “be like water” as you can either flow or crash but
resistance will not get either of us
anywhere.
Since you are
already reading up on GERD it means that you
have taken the first step and are taking action in order
to control the condition. From my personal experience I
will cheer you up with the fact that it can be
controlled. I was continuously sick in my late twenties
and the acid burned my throat to a point where I
completely lost the ability to speak for months. After
trying many different treatments and product I have
finally figured it out to a degree where the illness
barely leaven any footprint on my life. No worries, I
will share it all with you so just continue to read and
learn.
What you are doing now is equipping
yourself with the knowledge to make you a better and
healthier individual. This will help you lead a healthier
and more importantly normal life without hopefully taking
too many chemicals. Good luck on your journey and don’t
ever give
up!
