Hi Precious; my two cents is when I was on Nexium, I initially took x1 40mg a day. Then when I swapped to x2 20mg a day I found it had a far better result. Maybe it was to do with distributing the...
Hi Everyone, Was going to post this in one of the "Updates" areas, but feel it needs more attention - as I've noticed there are next to no "I'm feeling so much better!" posts. First off, it's well...
My fiance, as she's had to put up with my midnight rumblings for so long! On a massively positive note, and without medical sign-off or diagnosis, I'm positive my symptoms have dissapeared. After I...
Hi Danie, Interesting tips. Though your mentioning of needing to sleep on the left hand side; I find that's worse for me, and sleeping lying on my right instantly alleviates any problems. Is this...
Hi all - doing brilliantly, since my last post donkeys ago. I was in Europe for a number of months, and had downscaled my 40mg nexium to 20mg twice a day. Excellent reaction. Then on return my doctor...
Hi all, It's been ages since I've posted, and I'll put an update in the Role Call, but in the meantime... Has anyone tried Pariet as an alternative to Nexium? My doctor put me on it about 3 weeks...
Same here; bang on with Bo Peep. Especially at night? That's the worse time. I've had nights when it's beat Hard and Fast all night long, and I wake (if I get to sleep at all) with a sore chest, as...
Hi crew, I have both of the above, though my more persistent symptoms are chest pains - the 'feels like a heart attack' kind of pain, and not relux so much / rarely. I've been told this is mostly due...
This is an interesting read. Keep us updated how things go! There's no way I want to be on Nexium ongoing, especially not the length of time I hear some people are on it, and if some solutions /...
Nice one George! Happy to give it a shot. Lets hope others on here give it a crack and find similar miracle cures from your suggestion!...
Rosie, DO bring it up, definitely. Maybe doctors like to follow a certain plan (with the specialists I saw it seemed like an obvious transition between each, 'ticking off the boxes'), though there's...
In my opinion? No, it doesn't work. I work for the Army, and was in the field for a month during February... working very hard with constant activity through the day / night, and lost 14kg; the...
Hi RoseisRose, The chest pain is pretty scarey stuff, isn't it. Especially when you're in bed at night and feeling your heart beat so hard. But then you have that EKG, and they find nothing, so it...
bebrave, yeah a lot of what you went through sounds like it. Especially the scans and EKG, I went through all the same thing; though no Prilosec. I'm not even sure what that is? The chest pain can...
Terrific bumped thread. Just the kind of thing I was after. Though I read somewhere it's encouraged to sleep on your right side, not your left, regarding the way the stomach is positioned at night?...
Hi crew, I looked for a thread for all newb's to introduce themselves, though there doesn't seem to be one? Anyway; was diagnosed with GERD and a (sliding) hiatus hernia today - hooray me! Double...
