acid reflux amd not much luck with humera..

[bluefenox]

I have been telling docs for over three years that I have trouble swallowing anything. I have had pills get stuck in what feels like holes that shouldn't be there in my throat. Each doc said they looked and i was fine. Well i am not fine. After being left so sick i have been bed ridden for most of the last 6 yrs the acid reflux has done permanent

I'd really like to see your column when it's done!

Have you had any meds for the acid reflux? I can imagine though that they or you might be reluctant to go down that route, if it's a mechanical problem rather than an over-production of acid... I'm on Nexium because my stomach acid leaks onto my skin via my PEG site and it's improved things, though sometimes there are just really bad days for no apparent reason. The other thing to watch with omeprazole is that it comes in different strengths - Nexium is okay for me, but I remember running out and having to get the generic in a pinch, and getting a blockage because it caused sudden, intense constipation. Granted, I have strictures, but it's something to be aware of if you wind up trying any variants of the drug...

I have been bed ridden for 3 yrs sick w fistula for almost 7.. 7 yrs of fighting docs to get help and next to nothing done. Now i am so sick i sleep all the time...and my stomach is eating my vocal cords.. great!
