Hey Maria,
I'm glad to hear your symptoms have given you a few days off recently. Yesterday, I was knitting in the evening after a gruelling first day back at work, and I suddenly became aware...no pain! No throat burn, no wheeze, no ear ache! I was pain free for an entire three hours! Happy days!
So this morning, heartburn and burny ears gain, wheezy cough all day, etc.
Went to see Dr Jordan this evening. He thinks I should try going back on the PPIs again for a little while, and the Amitryptiline. As always he was lovely, listened to all my fears, reassured me that this is early days and things may yet settle. Sad to say, he discharged me into the care of the surgeon to avoid any conflict of info or crossover, but said I can go back if I need to. I don't like the surgeon as much, his bedside manner is lacking, he seems pretty smug and dismissive. Oh well, the high ups don't often come as nice as Dr Jordan I suppose.
So I will give it til the weekend, since my throat isn't burning now, and I've eaten shortbread tonight which really ought to set me off. Then I will give the old rabeprazole a go.
Hope you guys are feeling better xx
