Guest guest Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 HI Ursula, Thanks for sharing the news, however, I was actually started on Aciphex when it was introduced on the market. Presently, I am on double the recommended dose, as well as Zantac and I still show erosive esophagitis on my biopsies. They actually thought I had Barrett's with the way my esophagus looked. Initially, I was started on 20 mg of Aciphex along with Propulsid (prior to the FDA warnings), when that failed to work they placed me on an even newer (and supposedly better) drug called Protonix, that too failed. Esophageal manometry showed that my esophagus is " sluggish " (interestingly enough, 's is the same as mine)...hence and I both suffer from a dysmotility of the esophagus along with severe GERD. I saw GI today and they added Reglan and want to see me in month. They wanted to do a pH probe, which I did not want (hate tubes in my nose) but will have to get if this does not work...reason being, to see if I am refluxing a lot even while on all these medications. Thanks again, Autumn (Mom to Mark Cd5-Cd19 PID and ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
