I was looking online for a neti-pot...but was told to just use a turkey baster. Haven't done it yet..but mom said it works like a charm.

Does anyone know why the flappers in the esophagus fail? I'm beginning to think mine was damaged when I had to have ear surgery..putting the tube down my throat. Never had a problem with acid reflux LPR till after that surgery?

Hi..I had that done a few weeks ago. My Dr. spray nurabing medicine in both nostrils. He waited for it to nurab and then ask me which nostril I could breath better out of. He ran the tube down that nostril...My husband said it was about 12" long. It was a really quick procedure. I say he...

I can so relate. In the process of trying to get diagnoised and going from Dr. to Dr....I would describe the sensation as dirt in my throat. Didn't make any difference what I said it felt like...they just were so quick to assume it was going around and everyone had it...Grrrr!!!! Anyway, I...

Keeping my fingers crossed that all this medicine will do the trick. I see you are from Fairfield. We travel through there to go visit my mother in Huntsville :)

Oh my goodness!...I'll call medco and see what the deal is. But I have a feeling they will be clueless.

Yes..that is how I cough!..Cough and Cough until this thick bubbly wet frothy phlegm comes shooting out. It's so erabarrassing. The longest I can go without a coughing fit is 50 minutes. I swear, it feels like my head is going to explode when I have to cough so hard. Char...are you any...

Thanks for the reply. If you have asthma, don't you get out of breath and feel like your breathing through a straw? I really think my breathing is fine. I mean I can go for walks and not be winded or anything. I did pick up some Prilosec 4 days ago...can't tell any difference yet. When you...

Just an update: Went to see my ENT today. He ran a tube down my nose into my throat and said he saw drainage and irritation. He said he's going to treat me for both LPR and PND. He said it could take 3 weeks for the Prevacid (twice a day) to work and to continue with my nasal spray...

Well my LPR is back worse than ever also!...I cough so hard it feels like my head is going to explode. I have these red spots all over my face and a broken vessle in my eye now from straining so hard when I cough. I throw up phlegm daily and cough up about a cup of this clear frothy phlegm...

I have medco as my perscription plan. Anyway, prevacid is so expensive and the medco website suggested asking my Dr. to see if it would be OK if I took Ranitidine HCL 300 MG Tablet. Has anyone on here sustituted Prevacid for this medicine. If so, did it work just as good for you? I've been...

My cough is horrible until I have to gag! I've been allergy tested...No allergies whatsoever. ENT is treating me for Non-Allergic Rhinitis with Singulair and a nasal spray called Patanase. Before I went to an ENT I saw 3 other DR.s...non were able to cure my cough. Anway, my ENT said if I...

not a joke!!!? I am a sex addict, I think. I want to have sex all day every day and its all I ever think about, but I only want to do it with this one specific person that doesn't want to do it with me. I have tried to do it with someone else hoping it would help, but the whole time I was...

one at 8pm last night. The test was positive. I took one at 10pm and that one was positive. And, I decided to take my last first thing this morning. The test came out nefative. What do I do now? Is it possible to have a false positive? Is it possible to have two false negatives after a positive?
