GERD / No hearthburn.. but problems with food inntake, nausea etc..

Hi, got my diagnosis last year in february, hearthburn has always been a problem for me, since i was little, but i got sorta used to it, one day after alcohol intake i was very nauseaus and this followed the comming 2-weeks. My doctor gave me 20mg Nexium, and since then i have been using Nexium 1 each day. After i started with Nexium the hearthburn dissapered, but i still get stomach contents up in my throats, but it is mild, and not burning. Since June 2011 i have been almost sympthom free, until 2-weeks ago, it came back worser than ever. And i dont know why!! No change in food, no change in nothing its like it comes and goes as it wants.. And it's horrible right now..

I wake up LATE at day because i cant sleep at normal hours, the last 7 days i'v been sleeping 10-12 hours each night. I wake up at 2.. and my stommach is BAD, I then take one 40mg Nexium, and a 20mg Afipran (i have stopped used the afipran i just dont work anymore).. Im very nauseaus and I have problem eating, this state often last to around 8-9 in the evening.. and then i disappears i get hungry and i eat.. then the stomach reacts again, and often its bad another hour.. i then get better until im going to bed and it all starts again.. I dont have a clue whats wrong, it have never been this bad before.. Any help? Tips? Can anyone identify yourselves with what im saying?

EDIT : Got reffered to an expert got the 24h Ph-test and another gastroscopy, this was around Christmas and i have not gotten the results yet, at that time i was symptom free, and this irritates me as i belive if i got the tests now they would find something! Before the test i was 2 weeks without my dear nexium.. could this be a blowback because i did not use the nexium? I got ill AFTER i started using them again, how long does it take before the nexium reach its desired effect level? Because im confused.. with no food, or other changes my sympthoms dissaperd after half a year, woke up feeling perfect one morning, and since then up until now I'v been fine.. Trying to stay away from soda, and such.. but really I feel better after drinking a glas of soda.. I'm just so confused, started my barchelor this year, and I have to pass all the exams this summer, havent been to school in the last 2-weeks.. I need this to become better, EVERY advice is greatly appriciated.. diet, drugs etc.. Especially other antimetics than Afipran? Afipran helped before, but not now, i need a drug who gives me my appitite back... As of now, Afipran just gives me a toilet visit.. My poo have not been solid since last summer..

EDIT2: Right now I have anxiety regarding food.. every meal is a victory for me, I HATE IT.. i LOVE FOOD, both eat and make.. But now.. Im just glad for every little pice of food going down my troath, last time i lost 20kg of weight.. im afaraid this will happen again, im not a big person at all.. and 50kg for my 19 years are to much.. The tought have crossed my mind, maybe it is the lack of food who leads to the stomack problems? But yeah, eating when the food wont go down is HARD...

EDIT 3: The specialist who treated me around Christmas said it was Gerd, and the stommach acid was tearing down the movement and function of my esophagus, and the muscle between my esophagus and stomach was weekned, he said this was my problem and the neausea itself was caused by my stomach beeing sensitive.. its the last part i dont get, in good periods i CAN eat everything.. i can also eat everything when im BAD, even tho im not doing it, and if i do it, the pain will not change..
Thanks, sorry for the English.

No haven't tried to change my diet, i guess i should. My doc talked about eating small portions 5-6 times a day. I came to the point where changing the diet was the next thing to do, but then suddenly my problems stopped, and I have the same diet now, as I had before the problems started, i cant quite get it. As of eating late in the evening, latest days i ate around 9pm (21:00) and got to bed around 2-3 (02:00-03:0)am.. slept til around 1 am.. so Im not eating before going to bed.

Good Morning,

I am so sorry you are just now getting test results from a procedure done in December - that is unheard of.  Next time please be your own best advocate and make a point of getting your test results in a timely fashion.  I know this time is water under the bridge. 

As far as your test results, this is where you need to start taking over control and make an appointment to talk with your Dr. re your tst results as your physician is the one to interprut test results and advice you re treatment.

I am guessing you are not in USA - if you want to share where you are from perhaps we have other members from your area that can give you input into how to find a Dr. that is more helpful. 

It is great to be a part of a community of people who understand what you are going through, so I hope that you will stay on with us. We are here to help and support, and look forward to getting to know you better.

Kindly,

Kitt

id like to just comment about one part of your original post

i too get nausea, often, as "part" of the entire gerd mess

i say "part" because i dont know if gerd per-se causes nausea, although many sources report it as a common symptom

or

if the stress, especially about eating, causes the nausea...i just dont know

but i did want to respond, that i also experience nausea, often, and for a long time since i have experienced worsening reflux issues

hope your continuing education is successful
and
you return some day soon to being symptom free as you were before
