   NO RELIEF WITH LPR, PLEASE HELP! Yes, you! (Acid Reflux board)

16th March 2007
Thank you for all your suggestions, unfortunately I've already tried them all! I took Mucinex for about a month and half, didn't do much. I have tried Flonase, Astelin, Nasonex, etc. No help at all. The headaches are more from the clearing of the throat than they are from the medicine, however. I think the biggest issue is that there is almost no mucus its just something there that I need to clear my throat for-i guess the acid. My ENT thinks it is partially a habit, but I make a very conscious effort not to clear it...but have to. I thought it was a post nasal drip and went to an allergist, but after multiple tests it showed I had zero allergies. Additionally, I have been taking the highest dosage of Nexium, Achiphex, Protonix available...80 mg per day. I'm just concerned that I've run out of options.
Kathy, what have you heard about the stretta procedure?

Basically at one point I was taking about 8 pills a day...2 nexium, 2 mucinex, 2 reglan, 2 zantac...plus nasal spray. I'm young so this seemed so excessive. I stopped after about 3 weeks and have switched only to protonix, which also is hopeless.

So theres my story folks...:dizzy:
