Forgot to,mention, the duodenal ulcer,recently was due to really boneheaded mistake on my part... i didnt have my glasses on, and i combined what i thought was 2 bottles,of omeprazol... turned out it was flomax, so there i was taking flowmax instead of omeprazol, for who knows how long... that is what i thunk caused the ulcer.
Also forgot to mention that when i had the b,eeding ulcer, i was working at the time, but had gotten sick again and was losing strength and endurance, so i was, like a dummmy, taking aspirin to make it through the day, and herbs and vitimins. One of the herbs was Ginko Biloba... bad bad mistake for someone with bleeding ulcers, but i wasnt aware of that. That mistake nearly cost me my life.
To top that off, i was on prednisone at the time for the illness, at max dose, and i stopped taking it cold turkey. Noone ever told me not to. The headache i got from that was straight from hell.
That was a rough year.
I wont keep buggin ya, but i forgot to include context about my mistskes causing the health problems, so,they are a cautionary tale of sorts to those who might be as scatter-brained as me. Ive since learned to research before just trusting that a drug or herb is. Safe
