Thanks Judy, for the reminder that not every medicine works for everyone. Someone told me that Prilosec and Prevised do not work as well. I'm taking Aciphex and if it doesn't help, then I'll try Nexium. I won't have to change doctors, I will just have to wait till my nurse practitioner gets back from maternity leave. She's a good friend and a very good practitioner and when I give her the medical evidence on what meds/dosage works best, she will give it to me. I imagine she is more informed about LPR than the doctor is, because as you pointed out - it was an unknown when you were seeking a diagnosis years ago. She just graduated about 8 years ago, so she is much more likely to know about LPR.
