Hi,
I'm having a bout of gastritis which hurts like hell. I've been prescribed various medications (domperidone and others) but I'm terrified of taking them.
I have recently had very bad reactions to two commonly used types of medication.. one made me have a fit and the other a bit of a psychosis. I'm now VERY cautious of taking medication. I want to feel better.. but the dr has said he can not guarantee that I won't react to the meds.
anyone else have similar fears? I've been told that my reactions are extremely rare - which doesn't help at all - I now think "if its gonna happen, it'll happen to me!" and other such negative thinking.
have an endoscopy booked for early January.. which seems too far off - how can I manage the pain and discomfort?
Many thanks
