Hi Southerngirl, good to hear from you again. My meds come in capsule form. It could be that I did not have enough food on my stomach when I took it.....I can't really remember. I have had to take pain meds for like over 37 years, so I'm sure the lining in my stomach is about gone. Before I knew better, I took one kind for years without food or even a glass of water. At that particular time, it did not hurt me, but I found out years later that you were not suppose to take it on an empty stomach. I never remember the pharmacy putting a note on the bottle about it. Anyway, as I said, I can't take asprin or anti-inflamatory meds anymore or things like that that I use to be able to endure. I am sure I have an ulcer.......never took a test, but I have all the signs of one. It takes days to get over it when it flares up. Today was really bad at work. I was still hurting with my stomach but I felt so weak......I first thought it was b/c I hadn't eaten much....then ate lunch and that really made me sick. I still feel very weak, but I think my stomach is a little better for the moment.
After I get over this, I may give it some time and just take one capsule at my largest meal.....which is in the evening. But, I got to get a lot better before I can do it again...lol.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
