i have the slightest feeling... that i have a tummy ulcer now (as u ppl say, stomach ulcer)

 
i WILL mention it to my rhuemy the next appt. on august 19th. ugh, the pain. i told my mom about how it hurts, but i dont wanna mention i think it might be a tummy ulcer, or she'd wonder why i think so.
 
well, for the last few weeks ive been having terrible acid burps (like acid relfux or heartburn, somethin like those things) thats why i got the pepcid, which DOES NOT work, unfortuneately. the past few days ive been havin so many acid burps, ugh...
 
and im always having stomach pains lately, right now. it hurts too. last night, when i was tryin to sleep, after a lot of weird events (there was a icky bug, and then my cat threw up and i had to clean it,
 
now, i think its a tummy ulcer, maybe... cuz last year my grandpa had one and he went to the hospital. he was there for a long time, he had some kinda surgery. he'd also had broken his arm at the time, so he was in POOR shape at the moment, he almost died actually.
 
so, i DID tell my mom that it hurts really bad, and now as i just wrote that, it feels like its burning. ugh, why me???? first last week, i was told i could possibly get gluacoma and now this, wah. when you take your meds, Star.... is it in the mornings or night? do you eat with the  medication?  or "sandwich" the meds as they call it with food before and a little more food after?  plus drink LOTS OF WATER!!! especially when you take MTX.... lots of water!!!
I would bet you would find some relief.....
well for the mtx, i take it wednesday morning with some cottage cheese, yay
 
and for the prednisone, i take 2 pills in the morning w/ cottage cheese
and 1 at night (which i just took like 5 minutes ago) at night i dont eat anything with it tho
 
how much is lots of water? 3 glasses? or more than that?
on MTX days... I drink water all day the day before... alot of water:  Ihave at least 10 "glasses" which are 16 ounces in my water bottle.. filled all day long.. In the two hours I've been home from work I filled it three times...... drinking the third one now...
and I will take MTX tonight..... and drink alot of water tomorrow..
wow thats ALOT of water
i guess thats good tho
even the medicine directions say to drink plenty of water with mtx
