Hey neptunian. I'm feeling for you, but your globus started a month after you started ppis. So what is, bile reflux or pepsin, or what excuse can the proponents of LPR think of to possibly explain why your symptoms worsened after you started reducing acid by the most extreme method possible (ppis).
I just really encourage you to try the xanax, and to try klonopin, and and if that doesn't work, try something like lyrica or neurontin (generic)....
This concept of "acid reflux" might be right or half-right or it might be wrong completely. But if you gave ppis a month or more (and they are expensive), then you should consider, or at least, I strongly encourage you to consider, these LES "loosening drugs". Seriously, you'd be better off on advil than ppis. One day this disease is going to be one of those things they laugh about, when they talk about how the "medieval people" treated illness. Try other things if ppis aren't working. Because, the ppis aren't working. My "lpr" was worse after I started ppis. That was when the throat clearing started. Regardless of whether or not your symptoms started with URI, I think you owe it to yourself to try another method. The ppis only work, when they do, because they have an anti-inflammatory effect (Back to the Diagnosis of Silent GERD, 2010)... Don't participate in the madness anymore. Take the xanax, or whatever, but don't take ppis. Waste of money, waste of time.
