Missing photos

Just logged on to my blog to find all the pics I posted for February have vanished. I simply can't understand it at all. Bloody technology! I shall try and re-post them.
Meanwhile, I have given up trying to sort out my ulcer. I had to cancel my trip to Cornwall twice running 'cos I felt so awful. Now I am in a kind of defeated slump, just putting up with it the pain. I am SOOOOOOOOO fed up. All the doc can offer is Ranitidine or Omeprazole but, without a test, how can anyone tell if I am getting the right treatment? It might be low levels of stomach acid that are causing my symptoms, not high. First thing I'd do if I won the Lottery would be to go to a private specialist and try to get it sorted out. I bought some digestive enzymes and have been taking them with meals for the last three days, but have experienced no improvement whatsoever. Whereas the probiotics acted like a miracle, improving my IBS symptoms within 24 hours.
I am sure that someone on this globe there must be a herbal remedy. Meanwhile, I continue to take the phosphorus and am still sleeping much better. So at least that's one improvement to report.
My mother once told me that my grandfather worked his way through all the family money trying to find a cure for his deafness. Maybe, by trying every alternative treatment going, I am following in his footsteps. I never met him but I feel we are kindred spirits!
