Can you share Prilosec horror stories you've heard?
There was a story about a person who had a pre - existing heart condition. After starting Prilosec, they noticed some irregular heartbeats. They were very worried that Prilosec might be affecting their heart health. It was a scary situation as they had to go through a series of tests to determine if it was indeed related to the Prilosec use or something else entirely.
Yes. I heard of a case where Prilosec seemed to disrupt a person's normal gut flora. They had been taking it for a while, and then they started having all kinds of digestive problems like diarrhea and bloating that they didn't have before. It was a real horror for them as it affected their daily life and they had to stop taking Prilosec and try to find other ways to manage their original issue.
I've heard that some people experienced a significant change in their taste buds while on Prilosec. Food started to taste very strange to them, almost like metal. This made eating a very unpleasant experience. They were looking forward to the treatment helping them with their acid reflux, but instead, this side effect made their quality of life decrease in terms of enjoying food.

Another story is about a person who got a booster and then felt like their heart was racing all the time. They were worried that there was something seriously wrong with their heart.
Can you share the worst franchise horror stories you've heard?
Sure. There was a home - cleaning franchise where the franchisor took a large percentage of the franchisees' revenue for 'advertising' but there was no visible increase in business due to it. Also, in a tutoring franchise, the franchisor provided really outdated teaching materials. Franchisees had to spend a lot of their own money to update them. Another bad one was a pet - care franchise where the franchisor didn't support the franchisees during a local crisis that affected the pet - care industry.

Well, I heard about a family whose Thanksgiving was ruined by a power outage. They had all the food cooking in the oven and on the stove, and suddenly, everything went dark.

A truly horrible workaway story involved a young workawayer who was promised a friendly and cultural - exchange - focused experience. Instead, the host made them work from dawn till dusk in a sweatshop - like environment. The living conditions were so bad that there was no proper sanitation, and the food was inedible. The workawayer became ill due to the poor conditions but was still forced to work. This is a prime example of how a workaway can turn into a nightmare.

I heard about a nursing home where norovirus affected many of the elderly residents. These seniors were already in a fragile state of health. With the norovirus, they became very ill.

It was heart - breaking for the families and the staff who tried their best to control the spread but couldn't completely stop it.
