Rant - For those who are young with real GERD or LPR
This is not if you’re overweight , or eat horribly or if you’re 60 or even 50 plus . But for those who are young , healthy and have severe GERD or LPR due to a mechanical issue or hiatal hernia , how in the world do you stay positive . What’s the point of living , really . There’s no cure , you will have to maintain diet and lifestyle changes forever . Never be able to eat carefree again or exercise carefree again always having to worry about this getting worse . And if you get surgery it WILL have to be repeated again and again and each time raises the chances for severe complications. So really how on earth does this not make you want to unalive yourself . No alcohol , no outside food , can’t even do intense exercise without worrying about a flare , can’t sleep flat in the bed . I’m not sure how many other ailments are worse then this
