    Hi everyone,

I'm so grateful for this list.  in the past I've seen posts about reflux meds
and info on GERD.  I've also noted that some people have blamed low-acid for
reflux.  I have some questions.

A little background:  I've had reflux for 17 years.  They recently tried
nexium, prilosec, aciphex, tagament, sulcrafate, and xantac.  None of these meds
have helped me.  I still suffer from esophogeal spasms and a persistant cough
-- they think the acid is burning my vocal cords and causing the cough.  I've
been coughing for 10 years.  No one has been able to make it go away.

I would appreciate any insights or advice anyone has to help me with this
problem.  The situation is progressively getting worse.  I can't sleep because of
the coughing.  I can't teach -- I teach English, because I lose my voice.
I'm exhausted.  I don't know what I should be eating or if there is another med
that I haven't tried.

Thank you for letting me share.  You guys are always great!
Desiree
