I have a similar problem that has been keeping me from finding and keeping a job. I think my problem is anxiety. You could be nervous about something. I know what you're going through and I feel terribly sorry for you. Hopefully it's just a phase we are going through and we'll grow out of it soon. You're in my prayers, I know how hard this situation is.

OK, here is the thing...If you are not going to take the meds they prescribe the way they are meant to be taken you are NOT going to improve...and I would hazard a guess and say you are less than compliant. By that I mean you take the pills (and not as directed)for three or four days and then decide you are no better, right? Lots of meds take weeks or months to work...there are NO magic pills.
Having said that: have they checked you for pancreatitis? You are somewhat young for that ailment but those are symptoms. Stress/anxiety could also be the culprit...

If it is an ulcer then drinking a glass af milk will help, as does taking Mylanta,Maalox etc.... But it does sound kinda like anxiety to me also. Discuss this with your doctor and see if a mild sedative doesn't fix the problem. Good Luck and I hope you feel better.
