It is so good to see you write down the stuff that I myself, and so many others have experienced. I really believe this thing should be thrown off the market, if it's so seriously affecting every one in ten women. I have read from others that they became suicidal. I have had the same thing as you, thinking that I was seriously ill and that I would not live to see my children grow up. And more of us have had this. And all the other listed and unlisted side effects. I have been on heartburn medication too, twice in fact. My doctor gave me Losec for two episodes of six weeks. They didn't help though. I was afraid I might have stomach cancer or something. The left upper side of my belly is still bloated, and I can feel huge air bubbles moving there. I had an ultrasound of the upper belly last week, and everything looked fine. And the blood tests came out normal. I have had tests for Rheumatoid Arthritis . And thyroid tests. Everything was normal. It just didn't FEEL that way. Thank you for your post. It's so helpful and enlightening. Take care.
