Yup, I had Barretts. Lost my voice completely for awhile. Nasty stuff. Can lead to cancer. Smoking irritates it, so I am mostly vaping, which is somewhat helpful. Have to sleep on an incline, and take meds before going to sleep.
My unkown sickness is (almost) killing me, weed helps but is quite illegal.

I suffer from Chrons horribly and what you have sounds like it, it is a little difficult to get diagnosed sometimes. Strains that help me greatly are black magic kush and dj short's blueberry. I am growing the master kush and the himilayan blue diesel to see if they will work for the nausea. The purps also works well and mendocino purps worked pretty good too, but the yield was horrible.
There are days when I can't keep anything down, and the only thing that helps is blueberry or BMK. I also make hard candy edibles with bho, but you could also use an ISO instead. I make a hard peppermint candy withthe bho and it works really well for nausea and pain, and can be a discreet way of medicating when in public or whatnot, when you need to be discreet, which it sounds like you do...

I just tried Master Kush. It was a nice couch lock and made me sleep better. But as far as the nausea,I would give it a 5. Still had to take my Zofran. I also got some Snow White,that one worked better.

Zofran doesn't work on me for my nausea, sometimes phenergran works, but there was this other anti-nausea medication that did work but for 15 pills, a 1 week supply was $340 and I don't have insurance, so that's not going to happen.

Greenfinger - Something occurred to me in my sleep the other night! It was specifically directed at YOU! <yeah, now you KNOW I gotta be a weird-o, right!>
Anyway, have yourself checked for problems with the Sphincter of Oddi. It is related to the gallbladder & helps deliver bile & other enzymes to the digestive system. Sometimes the sphincter is too tight or gets blocked or whatever & pressure builds up behind it. The answer is to have a sphincterotomy - cut the muscle surrounding the sphincter (which can be done laparoscopically). There is no harm from having a permanently open Sphincter of Oddi, but when it becomes inflamed or closes & develops pressure behind it - it can cause huge problems, yet be very difficult to detect.
One of the major symptoms is life-threatening vomiting which comes in waves, is diminished with IV drugs, but not maintained at home. The patient is usually repeatedly hospitalized & stabilized on IV meds, yet vomiting returns at home, shortly after IV meds have worn off. <I saw you in my dream & felt I had to report this to you.>
Please get checked for this condition. Perhaps you could swallow dye or have some other procedure to determine whether or not there is a blockage or the sphincter is not functioning properly. If your docs are prepared, they can make the cut at the same time & you're back to work in 3 days, feeling better!
Do get it checked out & let us know what happens. I don't often have dreams of this nature.
OK, now the rest of you totally think I'm weird, so go laff it up at my expense. I did my duty for GF.
Peace - Out

There is also a esophaegeal sphincter surgery now to repair the gastric reflux problems. However it is very new,and I would really check it out and do research before I considered it. Cleveland Clinic has the best Digestive Diseases programs in the world,and you DO NOT need a Drs refferal to go there. It may be done lap,but if you have already had some ab and gut surgeries,it may not be possible due to adhesions from prior surgeries.Then it would be done as an open procedure,much more complicated but still do-able. In my case,after 4 different gut surgeries because of UC and Diverticular Disease............NOT INTERESTED. No more cutting for me! UGH! And Mel,I sure as hell ain't laughing! Please have a dream for me and find out when this stupid Humira is going to start working! Love ya,MW

I'm not laughing. ...Mainly due to the fact that the brains activity increases dramatically as we sleep.
People should be more aware of the infinate capabilities we have, but have been raised to ignore.
Try coconut oil. Smoking cannabis also helps with my stomach problems, but I have read good things about removing hydrogenated oil from your diet, as well as all vegetable oils, and replacing them with coconut oil. The MCFA's really do help!
