Apparently I had "ribbons" of stomach ulcers, according to the doc after my scope.. Back then I Was taking ibuprophen by the handful for the neck issue - even tho it didn't help.. I've cut WAY back on that since the scope..

Something totally out of the box is: two of my biggest issues - blood pressure and acid reflux - may actually be a result of sleep apnea.. I need to go get checked for that, at some point.. 18 years ago I did an overnight sleep study, but they wouldn't let me take my usual sleep meds, so I never fell asleep.. Still tried to charge me to read the results, tho.. stupid morons..
