I did the Nissen... My Dr does believe in LPR. But prior to him, a great ENT that specializes in speech conditions confirmed it over the course of 5 months. She suspected it day 1, but I was the one...
The president has "reflux", not relief. I'm not trying to make a political statement, just a typo....
In the last two weeks I've gone from "my throat is always burning and my voice is always hoarse...deal with it", to "fairly optimistic". I refuse to get too hopeful and I'm thinking about setting a...
I'm familiar with JPT. I had a toupet nissen in August and so the linx is off the table. I can't speak for the topic creator, but I'm considering going to a dr that does strettas to see if he saw any...
It's probably LPR. Acid getting up high in your throat. Treatment has a wide range of effects depending on the person but PPIs and low acid diets are usually where Drs start...
This is kinda funny pat, I clicked the url and saw a negative post that I had left...oops maybe I scared the drug rep away!...
Are you an actual doctor gastro-doc? I ask because most people wouldn't be able to knowledge drop like you did in the post? Are you in any way connected to doing strettas where you have patients that...
I am curious about this too, I recently had a Nissen in August that didnt cure LPR at all. As in, didn't notice any difference. I've seen the literature but when I poked around online I found 1...
Alcie, as we all have a form of GERD we all have a stake in the game. I have been actively looking for a cure for 10 years, and so I know the frustration. Having said that, I also think that the time...
I have to say that the Stretta does sound pretty good after reading the article posted by the rep. Unfortunately I have gotten a negative opinion about the Stretta from reading various articles over...
It is my sincere belief that GERD and LPR will be cured in the next 10 years. Now that I have your attention with that bold statement, let's take a look at why: EXIBIT A Endostim:...
At one point I had done extensive research on using Elavil as a possible treatment for LPR. The idea is simple: there is nerve damage and low doses of amitriptyline will numb the pain and cause the...
I've always liked the idea behind the Reza band but I feel that in order for me to get benefit out of it I'd have to wear it during the day. Strangely enough, my throat is best in the morning, and...
I understand it being frustrating that the Drs denied your surgery, but I'm inclined to say that if a medical doctor doesn't think you have a condition they are saving you agony and frustration in...
I have a positive diagnosis of acid reflux in my throat, known as LPR. The constant burning sucks, and I've found that I can only lessen the pain, not eliminate it. The problem is that acid in the...
Good luck! I had similar scores and could not handle the full. Have not noticed improvement since doing a partial but my problem has always been LPR and throat issues (sore throat, mucus/phlegm...
You should find yourself a distraction Daxter, hurting yourself is taking steps back and not forward. Are you working? Try to redirect your energies to your job. Same if your in school or have a...
Hang in there Daxter, I know it's not easy. I have chronic LPR and GERD and the Nissen did me no good. Talk about a letdown! Your posts do scare me a little bit though and I'd hate to see a good...
For anyone US side, Somna hopes to have the product out by the end of the year. Insurance will not be accepted the first year and will $299...
I have had episodes where I found it hard to get a full breathe of air in. The best way to describe it is that I had intense pressure near my heart when I would try to breathe in, and I felt like my...
I wouldn't try to prove it to yourself, if your like 95% of the population you'll try to fit your symptoms to a disease. Not trying to discourage you, on the contrary I'd like to give you hope. I...
Pre surgery my LES would stay open for hours at a time according to the bravo capsule that was put in. Average person is 5 minutes or less. I don't know what the stats are post surgery for me, but I...
If you have poor motility the body compensates by keeping the LES at least partially open. This in turn causes GERD...
Come out come out wherever you are Reza Band participants! Don't be shy, Uncle LPR LPR LPR just wants to bask in your knowledge......
Lump in the throat? Hoarse voice? Hard for people to hear you in a noisy place? Those are symptoms of silent reflux in addition to any physical pain or burning :)...
Hey pink, see my response in the reza band thread for this. I'm too dumb to copy and paste from my phone. :D...
Hey pink My dr had done around 1000 fundos, only about 10 did what mine did. I had one of the lowest motility scores that he performed a full wrap on. In his experience, partial wraps don't help with...
Sounds like you have some cool things going on. I have called directly to Somna who runs the clinical trial. Unfortunately I do not live in the clinical trial area and so getting selected is out of...
I'm trying to gather as much information/testimonials about the Reza Band as possible. Are there any knowledgeable members of this community that have any experience with it? For anyone that's...
Just a word of warning on what happened to me. End of August I went under for a full wrap to help relieve a major case of LPR. My motility was around 20%, and the doctor was worried. He did a full...
