Albeniz Turbocharged December 2, 2010 Share December 2, 2010 Folks, Getting old and can feel that health starts to fall apart. First it was heel spur, then followed by occasional kneel cap discomfort and now could feel the pain of heart burn and acid reflux. This heartburn sensation has started to bug me more frequently than it used to. If you folks happen to know of any effective remedies which work well for you, would appreciate your sharing. Is there any off-the-counter supplements/medicines which we could buy at Guardian? *Sigh* Looks like it's time for me to start preparing a will. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
