Thanks for that info. I am (was) a bicuspid too! I think that condition must be pretty common. They replaced my valve not so much for that but because (supposedly) it had some "mild to moderate"...
Thanks for the reply + good wishes Kitt. See below. No, nothing. Occasionally in the past I used to try Tylenol or Aspirin when a migraine was coming on but nothing ever seemed to make any difference...
I had a heart attack last month. Then a double bypass + aortic valve replacement. Am recovering at home now, taking meds coumadin (blood thinner), lopressor/metoprolol tartrate (lowers blood...
Very strange - but "w r i s t w a t c h" in my reply above got changed to "wrist***ch", LOL!...
Thanks for your comment Beareilly. You brought up a point that I was wondering about in regards to hiatal hernias and if this procedure could be done for people that have that (I was told that I have...
I just saw an ad in yesterday's paper here advertising an acid reflux clinical trial for an "investigational procedure that may help you reduce or eliminate your acid reflux symptoms". I imagine that...
Right, thanks Kitt. I'm not up 100% on how the FDA works vs. other international drug agencies but I assumed (?) that there are some other international type bodies that approve generics like the one...
I was on Aciphex ("pariet" as they say in Canada) for about 2 years during which time it worked great with no major side effects that I noticed. It definitely gave me very vivid and strange dreams (a...
Major uggghhh..... I had heartburn after lunch yesterday. No big deal I thought, wasn't too bad, popped some Rolaids and felt better. Can't remember the last time I had heartburn after lunch like...
I read that an Israeli pharma company (Teva) lost a court case trying to release generic Prevacid here in the USA. They got FDA approval in Jan '08 but the patent holder company sued them and won the...
THANKS for the feedback folks. I did buy some of the generic PREVACID via a Canadien pharmacy and started taking it on Sunday. Postage cost was low ($10). The cost savings were astronomical (about...
I've been on PREVACID (30mg once a day) for the past 5 years or so. It has controlled my acid reflux/GERD well, with little or no apparent side effects for me. I recently learned that there are...
I'm having very similar issue going off prednisone (medrol dose pack) now myself. I already have GERD and take PREVACID and know what severe heartburn feels like! I took my last prednisone pill...
Thanks for the replies. I was thinking more on this and remembered that on Monday I had also ingested something else - perhaps for the first time. That was NASACORT AQ - a corticosteroid spray for...
I just had the worst attack of hives in my life. This all started slowly Monday night and 24 hours later really started going crazy. I went to a doctor yesterday and she started me on a medrol dose...
