I have had the sharp pain in my left shoulder for the past month. Thinking it was a pulled muscle I have been using moist heat to no avail. Never connected it to gerd. I thought maybe the way I have...
Thank you so very much. I am hanging in there but wish my voice would be stronger. That is my biggest concern. I can handle the food and for the most part don't have a problem with sleeping except...
Last year I went through a divorce so, of course, the doctors kept telling me the problems with my heartburn came from stress and to take zantac or prilosec. In December I lost my voice and I was...
Where do you get DGL (licorice)? Does it really help a sore throat?...
First I wish to thank everyone on this forum. I have been experiencing problems with laryngitis for 2 months, hard to swallow, plenty of nasal drip or phelgm. Heartburn has stopped since I went on...
Thank you. I am not too pleased with the doctors I have gone to in the past. I don't know if they just didn't seem to care because I didn't have insurance but when the doctor tells you to go to an...
Would appreciate it if anyone goes to a specialist in the Daytona Beach area of Florida. Since I am a newbie, I rather go to someone that is recommended for GERD than just someone because he is a ENT...
I am fortunate that my friend happens to know the doctor so she got me the appointment or I would still be on hold with the receptionist....
Thank you. It is so nice to have a conversation with others that understand what one is going through with LPR. My friends and family are very supportive but sometimes I feel like they can't...
I finally got approved for insurance so now I can have the tests and go to the necessary specialists. My first appt is Apr 5th with an ENT. I am on Dexilant which definitely helps; no more heartburn...
New to LPR/Gerd so I have many questions. I have a lot of phelgm and do a lot of spitting up. It feels like my throat is clogged. I also have problems with swollowing food. It seems like I chew and...
I had a feeling I should try flavored water. Thank you....
Who should I see first a Gastro or ENT Specialist? Which tests should I initially get? It looks like I have LPR since my problem is mainly with phelgm in my throat and I lost my voice 6 weeks ago....
I have not been officially diagnosed with LPR but every doctor I have gone to has advised that it appears to be LPR. Now that I have insurance I can take the tests. Florida is closed to high risk...
I have always had heartburn but it would come and go depending on stress or what I ate. Started in my 20's with an ulcer and then hiatal hernia. Last year the heartburn returned due mostly to stress...
6 weeks with no or hoarse voice. Can't speak much. People can't understand me half the times. I manage a building and talk all the time. Now it is so difficult to communicate. I can't eat right. I...
I hope you feel better soon. The past 6 weeks have been hell. I can't imagine what it must feel having this for years. Do you go to an ENT? Joyce...
What type of surgery have you had? Does it help? Any suggestions for me?...
Being new to LPR, I have done a lot of reading and find that I have the symptoms. I lost 15 pounds in the last 6 weeks because I have a hard time swollowing. And I am always spitting up phelgm. The...
I have had laryigits for the past 6 weeks and now the doctors are thinking I have LPR. They are treating me with Dexilant. Since I am new to this, any advice or help would be appreciated. Do others...
