Ahhhhhhh that is a balance with me too, cant eat late but if i have empty tummy cause the acids in my tummy are too strong. Nexium is like gold, never run out of it or you will be sooowwwyyyy.

I was on the blood thinners when on dialysis, they are a pain. constant pressure with the thumb or a finger..and dont keep lifting it to see if it has stopped for at least 5-10 min. When u lift it dont jerk it or you loose the 'crust'. just ease up the pressure slowly so the vein relaxes back into place and 'peel' the thumb off slowly..worked for a little heretic like me. :thumbupboth:
