Yes, I've improved before only to see it go bad again. I'm hopeful this time that it is something I did. I made 3 changes that really seem to have an effect.

1) I switched my high blood pressure med. to early morning (it may have been causing dry mouth at night).
2) I drink aloe juice in the morning and again at night.
3) I force myself to sleep only on left side (put metal clip on back so I don't go on back, looks rediculous but if it works I'll take it).

I have been about 95% reflux free but not sure if any of these did it or it's just by chance. I can now drink orange juice, eat salty pretzels an my throat doesnt hurt. Will see how long this lasts.
 
Good for you! That's amazing improvement. Are you taking any meRAB now, or just drinking the aloe juice?

I take a half of pepcid complete when I go to bed, just in case. I can't honestly say if anything I am doing is helping it or if maybe a lack of stress for a long period is helping it, either way I'm going to enjoy this time.
 
Don't question it. Just enjoy it! I know a few years ago my best friend in the world passed away. He was my dog that I'd had for 15 yrs. I thought I would get really sick going through what he and I both did but I swear, when he told me he was ready to go, I felt like he gave over to me any strength he had left to me. I made it through Christmas afterward without being sick for the first time in years. I hope your good fortune continues!

One thing I notice is since I've started drinking fruit juices again (Apple, grape, orange) my tongue is burning. I imagine that must be from all the time that acid burned my tongue. I will go back to just water for a week and see if that clears up the burning tongue. If it does, I'll take it slow going back on fruit juices. Not sure if its the sugar or the acid in those drinks irritating the tongue.
