We drove 13 hours to get this pup from a rescue because my wife wanted him. During our 13 hour journey back home, he was actually an amazing pup. Slept almost the entire way, played with his toy, slept on my wife and did potty outside during several stops.

The nightmare for my wife began once we got home, he has not been crate trained at all despite the rescue telling us he has. He is whining and has high pitched howls which is going on for hours today even though his needs have been met.

I keep telling my wife he has been home for less than 24 hours and to give him some time to adjust but she is already hating him, she left the house and has left me to deal with him alone.

What do I even do.

I am seeing a GI specialist next week because of all my stomach issues that I've had for years and now they have gradually gotten worse. I've had h.pylori twice, been on PPI's like omeprazole on and off for almost 3 years. I am now on Sucralfate and it isn't helping with my stomach pain. I had an endoscopy 9 months ago which showed inflammation in my small intestine but everything else was clear. I had my gallbladder removed 4 years ago and developed IBS-d after it.

2 weeks ago I had to go to the ER because I woke up at 3am with severe pain on the left side of my stomach - upper area where my ribs are. They told me they think it's an ulcer so gave me sucralfate but sucralfate has only helped with my diarrhoea and now i'm constipated. It hasn't helped with stomach pain, fatigue, acid reflux, dripping in the back of my throat, bloating, my decreased appetite, nothing.

Every time I google my symptoms it says I have gastriris, but how is this even diagnosed? I can't live my life like this anymore, I'm in bed currently in agony at the moment and unable to just live. I can't get out of bed today because the pain on my left side is back.

Does anyone live a pain-free life with these stomach problems?

I'm 33F and have been having stomach issues for a few years, it started when I had h.plyori during covid, then i had to get my gallbladder removed because it was infected and had gallstones, then I got h.pylori again and developed IBS. Got treated again for h.pylori the second time but still had acid reflux, bloating among some other symptoms so continued taking omeprazole, but it wasn't really helping much. Got an endoscopy in September last year which showed inflammation in my small intestine, got told just to continue with the omeprazole and my biopsies showed nothing abnormal.

The past 3 weeeks has been the worst my stomach has been, I ended up going to the ER because I woke up with severe stomach pain and I had to use the bathroom, nothing was coming out and I felt extremely nauseous. They said I was just constipated and given my stomach issues, I need to stop omeprazole and take sucralfate which i've been taking for 2 weeks now and it isn't helping. The only thing it has helped with is my diarrhoea, but I still do not feel good, I do not have much of an appetite anymore and I'm losing weight and even look ill.

My symptoms;

Severe acid reflux

acidic burps and belching more often

decreased appetite

fatigue

bloating

stomach pain

drip feeling in the back of my throat

coughing after every meal and usually bring up mucus/phlegm

i also developed a new symptom the past 2 days which is bringing food back up after eating. I'll burp and it'll be vomit and taste very acidic.I was retested for h.pylori and it came back clear, also had my bloods taken which came back normal. I'm at a loss right now and don't know what to do. I do have a GI specialist appointment booked on the 24th but I just want some relief right now, could this be cancer even though I had a clear endoscopy 9 months ago?

I don't know if I should continue taking sucralfate or what. I don't feel good

My wife and I decided to foster dogs because we wanted a second dog, but we had to see which dog was a good fit for us and we figured fostering would help the rescue out and us out to see which dogs clicked with us.

​

We got our first foster puppy 2 weeks ago, his name is Luke. Luke was an amazing dog, a couch potato who I took naps with, he loved my dog and my dog loved him, my wife absolutely fell in love with him and so did I.

​

However, the first day we got him we were informed he had an approved application, and Luke also had some health issues which we paid out of our own pocket to treat and figure out what was going on.

​

The adopter rescheduled picking Luke up so we kept him longer and were hoping he would back out, he even shared doubts through text about adopting Luke since he has a 7 month old baby and Luke wasn't in great health at the moment.

​

But then Saturday came last weekend and he did come pick him up. We wanted to keep him so bad and now my wife and I are depressed, we keep hoping the adopter calls us and tells us it's too much for him and yes, it's so selfish but we love him so much.

​

We are fostering another puppy right now, but it just isn't the same. It's making me miss Luke even more. Even our dog is depressed over it and he keeps sniffing where Luke used to sleep, his toys, and isn't himself.

I'm hoping someone could probably give some suggestions onto what may be happening with my local SPCA shelter.

​

I am a volunteer for a rescue and this shelter has such a high euthanization rate. People are complaining about it on FB because a local rescue was trying to pull a very healthy dog so it could be fostered and find a family, however, they put it down. They also do not allow people to volunteer and take dogs for a walk and I'm confused why. Rescues and people on FB are calling them out repeatedly and they are blocking people for this and their website hasn't been updated for about 6 months with any new animals.

​

What could be going on? This has been going on for a few years now.

I'm 33 years old, female, weigh 142lbs and losing weight as we speak not even trying but I am eating less.

I've been dealing with stomach issues since I was 28 years old. I first had H.pylori, then gallstones, infected gallbladder, gallbladder removal and then re-infected with H.pylori again. Also developed IBS-D after gallbladder removal.

Had an endoscopy afterwards, tested negative for H.pylori but had inflammation in my small intestine. Got prescribed Omeprazole which stopped helping.

A few days ago I ended up in the ER because I tried pooping and couldn't. My stomach was in so much pain. Dr told me to stop omeprazole, prescribed Sucralfate instead and it somewhat helps with acid reflux but not my stomach pain. They think I have an ulcer.

My symptoms are worrying me because I feel like this could be stomach cancer.

I feel full after eating, like it's almost painful to eat and i'm eating clean after leaving the hospital.

I have nausea, losing weight, stomach pain esp after eating and my worst symptom is feeling fatigued and anxiety because of all of this.

I'm honestly so scared, I'm seeing a GI doctor at the end of the month. Is anyone else suffering?

I'm (32F) married to a very abusive woman (31F). She constantly throws my belongings out on the lawn and steals my phone, threatens to smash it up, takes the car keys from me, kicks me out, calls me b*tch, dirty tramp, a leech, a c*nt and tells me to to die among other things.

I called the cops on her on Sunday and I moved into the guest bedroom. We haven't spoken to each other at all or acknowledged one another, I hate the person she is when she becomes angry but yet, I still love her and miss when we are "good" and affectionate.

Why do I love a person that can call me these names and treat me like this? Why? It is driving me crazy, I feel so weak and my heart is betraying my body.

I have posted previously before about my withdrawal, I was on it for 12+ years and finally tapered for a year and came off of it completely now 4 months ago.

I cannot tell what's withdrawal anymore and if my body is just unwell and needs attention somewhere else.

First of all, my withdrawal symptoms have progressively gotten worse, not better. I cannot leave the house anymore. The moment I do and step into store or am in the car for too long, I get sweaty, shaky, my heart beats super fast and I feel so unwell.

I also have digestive problems - IBS and acid reflux which I am taking omeprazole for.

I am *extremely* fatigued. I can't even go to work. I wake up tired and I have zero energy. I wake up sweaty and feel ill. Later in the day around the evening I sometimes feel a little bit better.

What is going on? I had some tests done recently and all came back normal.

I have a 3 month old puppy I am fostering and he is such a good boy, we've had him for a week and his adoption application got approved so tomorrow he is getting picked up to go to his new home.

However, we have a rescue dog too that we adopted from the same rescue. He is one year old and he is super attached to this puppy, and the puppy is attached to us. I'm getting a lot of intrusive thoughts lately because one of the adopted puppies from the rescue was found to be neglected and so emaciated months after his adoption and we only found out because it was a military wife who left him outside 24/7 without food so someone snitched on her.

I'm worried about that happening to my foster pup and I keep getting anxious thoughts about what if he is being sent to a person who will mistreat him. Is this normal when fostering?

Hi all! I just applied to foster dogs at this rescue I adopted my own dog from. However, i'm a little scared and nervous and need some tips/tricks on how to make it a little easier for myself.

How do people go to work and take care of the dogs if theyre still pups?

Last month I was asked for 4 months of bank statements, I uploaded them and had a phone call that said it was for 60 minutes. The agent asked me to upload my other statements from my other bank account that I use to pay bills and so I did - now I am getting another phone call appointment for 15 minutes this time?

Why would there be a second phone call? All I have on those statements are bills being paid and grocery shopping.

Hi all, I am a little unaware of how all this works. I received a note in my journal asking for 4 months of bank statements which I sent over to them and they also gave me a telephone appointment which I completed, they noticed I had another bank account (I use it for bills and also have a bit of a gambling problem and use the account for that) so they asked for 4 months of those statements too.

I finally sent those over last week after worrying if i'd get into trouble for my gambling addiction but i've heard nothing back and it has been a week. How will I know if the review is complete, how long does it take and will they usually ask for another telephone appointment about the second bank account? Also, will I be in trouble for wasting my UC money on gambling sites?

I have just started cycling the past 4-5 days, I haven't cycled since I was probably 8 years old. I have been taking my dog along with me and I ordered a helmet online after I got my bike fixed up (it was bought in bad conditqion). The helmet hasn't arrived yet and my dog has been great walking/running with me while I cycle.

That is until today, I had his leash around the handle-bar (stupidly) and he saw a squirrel, and decided to run straight after it while yanking the bike and I fell and hit my head off the curb. I have a headache and a small lump but no other symptoms other than anxious after it.

My neighbors luckily saw me and helped me back home. I know I probably shouldn't have been cycling without a helmet, but I didn't think I'd have an accident so soon.

Now I'm pretty shaken up and sitting here icing my head hoping I don't get any worsening symptoms throughout the night. I definitely learned my lesson.

I moved from the UK to USA last year and I've been struggling to make friends. I decided to go out and do some fun activities but it seems like no one wants to hangout with me.

I've tried asking for peoples socials when they seem fun to hangout with so I can communicate with them to make plans again but their communication is pretty nil after I first meet them.

Is it always this difficult to make friends in your 30's? What am I doing wrong..

I was doing pretty okay during my first month, but I have to say this has been the worst month yet of withdrawal and even then, I don't actually know if it is withdrawal or i'm unwell but i do not feel right at all.

Symptoms:

Very awful fatigue to the point I cannot work, I wake up tired and feel sleepy all day even if i'm not doing anything

Weak

Body aches and pains in random places

Itchiness esp at night time

Insomnia

Acid reflux

High anxiety (feeling constantly on the edge)

Ice pick headaches

Loss of appetite

Waves of nausea

Feeling faint/light headed

Fluttery feeling in chest sometimes

Is anyone else going through this?
