Qat needs to quit using that cheap gin in his martoonis. His pupils are different sizes and there is a strange hairy thing with no apparent head walking by him. Or it might just be a lhasa apso that needs a haircut.
When I was working, 50 years ago, there was an outstanding Chinese restaurant within walking distance and immediately next door to the bank we all used. Thus, on payday we’d go as a group for the lunch special, then walk next door to deposit our checks. They had a really savory version of Pork in Garlic Sauce that I enjoyed one day. When I went to the teller with my check, she looked up, smiled, and said, “Oh, you ate next door today.” She also frequently enjoyed their savory dishes. The trick with garlic is to be sure that everybody has some.
Whew! That’s tough. A recliner chair is an alternative to laying down. One helped my wife while healing. Sure sounds like your acid production is through the roof for some reason. It is definitely hard to manage anything without decent sleep. (Chronic hip and shoulder pain came back on me in old age from the wild motorcycle-crash days of my youth, and now won’t let me sleep as well.) I will pray for you to have some relief.
No onions or garlic either?!?! That’s tragic! My wife had GERD all her life and destroyed all the nerves controlling her esophagus by ignoring it and required surgery to keep it open. She now maintains with Protonix in the AM and Famotidine at bedtime. But she can still eat onions and garlic, thankfully, since I scarcely ever cook without them.
Yeah. Maybe tee many martoonis.
