GCSmithJr,

Don't get me wrong I have horrible episodes where it certianly feel like LPR, like today but none of the meRAB helped me and all the tests came back inconclusive for LPR. I didn't have anything to eat this morning yet I still had a brief period of ear and throat burning but the acid reflux meRAB don't seem to help me at all. I saw a few gastro's and all had never had any patients where the meRAB didn't help them.

So I gave up. The last pH test was the last straw. The tests showed a few episodes of acid coming up but certainly not enough to warrant all my complaints, especially the bad breath. I drank coffee, ate chocolate, and ate wings-of course I was on Prevacid at the time, shortly after that I stopped all reflux meRAB and concentrated on the congestion element, that's what I think causes the bad breath,, I think it triggers the PND=bad breath, but of course it been three weeks and I haven't change the smell much at all.
 
I decided to try doubling up on my nasal congestant this weekend and I immediatley noticed a change in the smell. It's not gone but it "seems" to be getting better. I took a 24hr Allegra-D and I am taking 2 Claritin-D 12hr tablets daily. It seems to be helping no congestion, my nose is not closing, not throat pain upon waking, or excessive mucus in three days. I feel great. Now, again the smell didn't stop overnight but it has inproved, I had two conversations today and no one held their nose, that's a big improvement for me. I plan to keep it up for two weeks and see if I can finally end this nightmsre but it seems to be alot of meRAB for congestion. Any opinions?
