Daily Ramblings
This is just a post to express my frustrations at my doctor. I’m figuring out that the reason he won’t give me the medication that I asked for is because it’s not covered by my insurance. I have to pay full price. But the pharmacy said that as long as I don’t get the time-released version of Prevacid, then it’s only $10 out of my pocket.
“One third of GERD patients may have erosive esophagitis (EE).” says the ads. Pantoprazole (aka Protonix) is supposed to heal EE the same as Nexium or Prevacid does. I’m not saying the drug doesn’t work at all. Maybe it will for you. But it doesn’t for me.
Argh! Having LRD sucks! If you are reading this, then most likely you also have it or you think you may have it. Which also sucks.

Hi there. My consultant thinks I may have LPR – but no firm conclusions. I’ve had all the horrid tests, but the results were “difficult to read”. My absolutely worst feeling is this burning session in my throat and the feeling that there’s something dripping down the back of my throat. I’ve been on PPIs for about three months now and this one symptom is proving difficult to shift. Love to know how you are getting on
