Guest guest Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 Jac: You might consider getting a new PCP and gastro docs. If you have had H-pylori twice in the past year, it may have not been totally eradicated and can be the cause of your reflux problems Also, if you've lost your teeth and have constant burning, the reflux can lead to other problems such as Barrett's Esophagus. Try and find better docs in regards to this who aren't just telling you that you shouldn't be feeling this way. Point is, you are. In regards to the prescription for Protonix. If it works and you are feeling better. Your doctors can write a letter of medical necessity to the insurance company stating that you have tried various other medications over the past year with no success and the Protonix has been the only one that has made any clinical difference in your symptoms. The insurance company will usually ok the prescription without an argument. I hope this information helps and that you are feeling better soon. Enjoy your short vacation. Sounds like a dream.
