Elaine and Friendly,
Thank you both for trying to make things understandable.
The symptoms I have are, sore throat in the morning, excess saliva, slight nausea from time to time(hate this the most)and at times I have right sided pain that can go to my back(infrequent) but, can really hurt and was the reason I went to Gastro. 1 1/2 yrs. ago.
As a matter a fact, that was my only symptom, now I have the others.
I have recently been treated for H Pylori, will go back for testing in a week. I am taking Prylosec 40. mg daily. Medication has made symptoms less but, like most here, they did not take them away totally.
