    I do believe a lot people will at some point in their life will have acid reflux. That doesn't mean he can't drive. The stress meds, as long as it's not anti psychotic meds, I see nothing wrong with driving a truck while taking those.

    Just because I say acid reflux doesn't mean I'm throwing up everything I eat, most the time its just bad heart burn. And the stress meds is so I don't get stressed out, not because oak already......proactive not reactive.

    I have talk with my doc and she gave the ok...she is a bit more qualified than you so ill take her word thanks for the concern tho

    Day 2 at cre is done so far only complaint is the sh**y hotel we stay in

    Yep I am not a MD but I do have experience in the med field as a RT.

    To say you are being given stress med proactive is not entirely true.

    acid reflux which is a disease has stress as a contributing factor. Your doctor is giving you these meds reactively due to your disease. I am sure she also told you to loose weight, adjust diet don't eat before going to bed ect...

    If you have a disease which acid reflux is and a contributing factor is stress. Driving a truck ain't going to help it any. Thats what I am saying.

    Like if I had a heart problem I would not be trying out for the olympic marathon team. savy?

    Intelligence and common sense are two entirely different things. My cat is not very smart. But she has common sense enough to stay away from the truck when the motor's running.

    Those tests are based mainly on common sense.

    Randokuky,

    Question form you? Are there many students attending the school now? Or is it just a handful due to the up coming holidays?

    there was 40 i think.....they said there is normally 3x the amount. So maybe people are holding off till after the holidays or maybe because they dont want to learn during snow season...who knows?
