This was on top of them diagnosing you with GERD a few months back? Did they misdiagnose it then scare you again? Sucks to put you thru that |

Sucks to put you thru that | Well I never had made the appointment with the GI like I was supposed to. Then about a month ago I threw up a lot more blood again.
The GERD has a lot to do with it. I've got esophagitis so the acid had been causing my esophagus to become irritated and bleed. My esophagus has been relaxing and that allowed the blood to settle in my stomach. |
