Health - 10 August 2006

I must take Prilosec for various GI problems (including GERD) for the rest of my life. When I had an allergic reaction to penicillin in the Spring, I was given Pepcid AC to combat part of the reaction.
I was thinking of alternating days with these two drugs to give me the proton pump inhibitor action, but also the H2 blocker action since I have such bad allergies anyway.
Anyone else done this or those with a medical background think this is a good idea?

I just released an albino cr@p in the toilet..... I brought my wireless laptop into the bathroom so I could study it while I type.
Is there such a thing as genetic poo mutation?

i have a head cold, seemingly, and a sore throat. saline nasal lavages help, to a certain point, but i thought i'd ramp up the antibacterial effect (if, in fact, it would be ramping it up). so far, i've had a mildly productive yellow cough/sneeze (though hardly a cough to speak of). i'm a non smoker. i may as well mention headache, seeming fever (i lack a thermometer), and general malaise. for those who'll say, "it's a virus, antibacterials won't help.", i believe i can have a virus and a bacterial infection in my now-better-suited-to-bacteria nose, at the same time. prove me wrong, if you can. bona fides or, er, resumes would be helpful ("mother" counts). other suggestions (beyond the typical, "rest and fluids") appreciated, as well. thanks in advance!

(I don't lack for empathy, but everything else resonates..)

I get these stupid leg cramps - mostly at night or early morning -
6:00 am or so... they grab you and your leg and you get such pain
& can't move! Yesterday I was walking to my car & it was 5 pm &
I felt it come on me - from my back of my knee down my leg! It sure hurt like heck! I am on Quinine Sulfate 325 mg for it and it
mostly helps, but what does anyone else take? This is driving me
nuts! Stress doesn't help it either - it brings them on. EEK!
