Hi Ann! I am so glad to meet you. I hate to say it, but "misery loves company", and it is always nice to be in company that understands what you're going through.

I am sure I have h. pylori too, but I have not been tested. My M.D. says it is really not that common (all the more reason I know *I* have it). He doesn't want to do any tests other than put a scope down my throat, into my stomach, and that kinda scares me, but I've thought about doing it. I just wish he'd do a blood or urine test or something.
I do not have a homeopatic Dr, but I wish I did. I do have someone I would like to see, but he's more than 50 miles away, and it's so hard to arrange for someone to watch my kids, and my husband would have to get a ride to work, and it's all such a big chaotic mess, but I'm going to have to do it somehow. I know all of you know, how much more effort it takes people like us, to get it all "together" so we can get things done. I am so forgetful, and forever late wherever I go. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
