I'm onto my Nissen number 2 in 2021 and I'm about a week out... Similar ear pain and sinus issues lol. I don't think I'll go down this route again. Maybe linx next time haha. Thinking of maybe just...
I've never had that, however, as a result of GERD I did realize I slept on my left side more at night... Causing my arm to feel numb more. It's a thought....
Has anyone had COVID 19 recently? I currently have it... my GERD and reflux in general are so much worse. I didn't realize GI issues would apart of the symptoms of COVID....
This is the first time I came across this drug currently in testing for refractory gerd patients. From my understanding, it reduces bile in your stomach. Anyone ever heard of this drug before? Seems...
Good info! PPI's scare me. I've been trying to get off them again for 2 years.... I just know how bad the rebound is......
Wow! Good job appleby turning things around!...
I'm just curious if anyone has weird side effects taking PPI's. When I was on nexium...I swear, everytime I took it. My left arm went numb. :-(...
I remember after the TIF. My throat hurt a lot! I wonder if the the device they put down your throat is just too large for some... Either, I have vocal cord damage. Also, nerve damage. The only thing...
I'm curious to to know why I can vomit but you guys can't....
Hey Scorpio, I can't recall the exact surgeon that did my tif, but he worked with Dr. JANU at St. Elizabeth's hospital in Appleton WI. His first name was Ken. I actually never had mine undone, I was...
Or maybe try pecid or zantacs to help with the rebound period....
I got blood born pathogen from a tick... Nearly died. But I confirm I vommited like crazy after having a tif. And nissen....
I second it. Tif was a bad idea....
I haven't posted on here in years.... Was feeling down so I thought I'd check out this site. I come pack to it every once in a while to see if there is an update or new treatment, but I was surprised...
That cough/phlegm issue does sound like a sensitive nerve problem. I know when I started my gabapentin, my phlegm issue got better for me....
I take it daily. I can feel it when It wears off and when I take it. It kinda feels like taking a tylenol to me. It's not a huge differences, but theres a little bit of a dullness to the pain. Also,...
Hello trotters, Breathing issues are a scary thing, I can't say for sure whats really going on with me. I've been to the mayo docs in Minnesota and I was diagnosed with hypersensitivity. The asthma...
Looking back at these threads... So many memories just from this forum haha...
I've been about the same for a year. Maybe a little better, but I think I'm dealing with the anxiety from it a lot better. Both the TIF/Nissen made things worse for me and now I'm just on zantacs 3...
I have one! Almond milk or soy milk in general is good for coating your mouth, could help for bile reflux. Not really sure the reason for bile reflux or if you're stuck with it....
I'm trying to get off zantacs. I'll probably just drop down 75mg a week from a starting level of 300, so it'll take me about a month to get off them....
Ahhh... Kinda in the same boat. I was thinking of getting in to mma. I've done judo and boxing in the past, but I don't think my wrap would hold if I got a good shot to the stomach. I think that...
Think I might try this one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HYEIJLW/ref=gno_cart_title_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1MORTAFHRZMEZ...
... my 2 cents on having a nissen. I use to be a college runner. After my nissan lifting weights is ok. I don't feel my stomach pull to much on curling, its more when I start benching 150 +. I'll...
idk what anti meds you are on, but I have been on quite a few and all my make my LPR/GERD a lot worse. Also, zantac is probably the best thing to try before ppi. A lot less rebound acid when you...
Hey, I had a question for anyone who knows about about ph water filters. I was wanting to buy one, but I don't know which ones are good or not. Was thinking of just picking one up from amazon or...
Seems like you have some kind of functional disorder. Meaning that... we don't know what's going on with you right now... but in the future we hope to know more about conditions like yours... Pretty...
Im on 300mg x 3 a day right now. It has help with the pain and anxiety. I notice my breathing less... like taking a hot shower will make breathing hard still. But it does help and the only side...
I've tried this product before. When I took it though, I always had like a minty aftertaste....
Shoulder pain! I had that after my Tif.. took 2 or 3 days for it to go away for me... However, when I had my nissen done, I had no shoulder pain! The doctor I had for my nissen said that she does the...
Manuka Honey, I should by myself some. I was on a honey kick for a while. Should buy some again!...
Hey there, haven't been on here in a year or so and i just so happen to see this... I've done everything thing I can to rid me of LPR. Been to Mayo, Koufman, TIF, NISSEN, Gluten Free, No Dairy,...
I just ordered some GA from the UK. Hoping to just take that... I've been off all meds for about a week now and have been getting pasted the rebound from a years worth of ppi's with the american...
I gave them a decent try. I pretty much was on similar meds as what she prescribed me from going to mayo minnesota. so I only stayed on her regime for 3 to 4 months. Didn't notice much improvement so...
I would use this stuff... cause it speeds up the stomach and settles it... but the minty stuff in it causes my ears to go insane! so if you have ear problems with your lpr don't buy this. I kinda...
I've seen her before, She put me on 40mg twice a day protonix, 4 a day zantacs and 100 mg up to 4 times daily of gabapentin. I was told that I wasn't the worst patient and I wasn't the best patient...
I'm sure citalopram is making it worse too. At least for me it does! My advice would be to lower your dose till things are under control....
Hey! I have that problem too... Water gives me heartburn. I believe that it could be spasms. I've been diagnosed with functional heartburn by mayo doctors, they told me that spasms could feel like...
I'm at 2 months and 3 weeks. I still get stuff reflux back to my throat after eating it. Seems like it will be a lot longer before stuff will go down smoothly. Like you said, it's a very slow...
I'm dealing with a lof of lpr/ cold feelings in my chest. If you have a probably before the surgery it's still going to be there after the surgery. Even on ppi's it's said that it can take up to 6...
Hey guys, just wanted to asked anyone if they experience this too. I noticed now after my nissen that when I swallow liquids it causes a heartburn feeling in my chest like 3 seconds after swallowing....
I'm pretty sure I have tmj, not sure what it is though. My neck and jaw musclse are so tight I can barely open my mouth more than an inch. My mouth just wants to clamp down all the time. It seems...
I'm about two and a half months out right now... I still get stuff stuck left and right. It doesn't hurt like it did in the first couple weeks, but I can feel water getting hung up there when I drink...
My symptoms are worse off after my nissen and a half months ago. Before it was mostly congestion and breathing problems... now it's burning! ughhh...
Thank you for the reply, she said a very similar thing to me and that the gabapentin would help "calm things down". I've been on it and sometimes it helps, can't tell for sure seeing how it's not so...
Yeah, that seems to be my diet except I eat a lot of potatoes and corn. It's good to hear that your managing. I'll get there eventually. Last summer I was off everything for 3 months and felt good....
Hmmm, that's the same thing she diagnosed me with too. Left vocal cord paresis. She put me on low dosage of gabapentin, 4x ranitidine, 2x PPI and diet. I just had to nissen done 2 months ago. I've...
Not doing so great still... Went back to work. 70 + hr work week. Fun... Was completely weak. I felt like an overworked horse that was about to collapse from exhaustion! This week I'm guessing I will...
Yeah, I had the hernia repair also. Not sure how long it will be before I feel better. I'm waiting till about 3 or 4 months to go back to my surgeon and do tests. I know if my food it gets stuck, it...
I had the nissen about 7 weeks ago... I've been far worse since. The burning in my throat, stomach and chest don't respond to anything. Not sure why it's much worse... Idk if this is from the...
