Hello everyone.

I am experiencing extreme heartburn that lasts all day once or twice per month regardless of what I eat. I had a Nissen in October 2009 and do not take any meds. The Nissen was successful. However, in the past year or so I have developed extremely painful heartburn that is constant and radiating to my upper back. It seems to me this pain only comes when my hormones are going crazy during that time of month. Do any of you other ladies notice this or is it just me looking for an excuse for this pain?

Lisa,

I am glad you mentioned this as I have also had trouble during "the time of the month". I had a partial hysterectomy several years ago but still have my monthly hormones. Every month is the same thing, two nights of insomnia followed by two days of a stomach ache. Before my surgery, I also had the heartburn and reflux so bad that there was nothing that seemed to help. I have yet to be taken off ALL my meds as I still take 40mg of nexium daily and my surgery was 8 weeks ago today.

Your not alone. Yes, during my hormone time, I also experience tummy issues.. Hope this eases your concerns a bit..

Good Luck to you!
Wendy
