My bloods came back last week that my bloodcount was low, so my OB put me on Corvita. It is a prescription iron/folic acid/B vitamin pill.
It is killing me! I have given it a week to see if my body will get used to it, but it is just getting worse. About an hour after I take it, I feel like my stomach and esophagas are literally on fire! I am a long-time sufferer of acid reflux (since WAY before pregnancy), and this is the worst I have experienced by far!
I take my pill at lunch and this burning lasts thought the day, well into the night. Also, I have trouble drinking liquids after I take the pill. It will often come back up. I know I am not drinking enough.
Pepcid (as recommended by my doctor from earlier in my pregnancy) helps a little, but not well at all.
Lastly, I have a really bad cough that I know is at least partially due to the acid coming up at night. It is horrible!
Anyone have experience with this? I will be calling my doctor tomorrow as I think I have endured enough, but I'd love to hear other experiences with this.
