"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

@PiecesofMargo You could try telling them you're immunocompromised, then it would be indicated, probably easier to talk a doctor into writing an rx though.
@PiecesofMargo He did, but he got his head out of his ass eventually. He was head of the Pennsylvania abolition society later in life and petitioned congress to end slavery in 1790.
@PiecesofMargo "a liquid medicine that coats the esophagus and stomach."
Double check the name of that Rx. This sounds like sucralfate, which would be a good choice for your case.
If that's what it is, shop around. Drug prices can vary widely. Just did a quick goodrx search & saw it @ 43.33
@PiecesofMargo Take that pantoprazole about 30 minutes to an hour before your first meal of the day. That way it's in your system when your stomach wants to start churning out acid.
@PiecesofMargo Maalox or Mylanta might be worth a shot. Add some pepcid to that pantoprazole (make sure that pantoprazole dose is 40mg). If you can, prescription for carafate liquid might help. Also, you might find 40mg of omeprazole works better for you than the pantoprazole.
@PiecesofMargo@Pontifex "equal dignity of man and woman."
Just not dignified enough to get a priest job.
Which is pretty amazing considering the level of dignity demonstrated by some of the dudes that cleared the bar.
Nice try there pope.
@PiecesofMargo What??? You were taking pantoprazole before you got to the hospital, were you taking it every day? Because you DO NOT stop this class of drugs cold turkey if a person has been taking them chronically. You get rebound acid secretion. This is basic stuff. Good Lord.
