Nexium Day 50.

[Free2breath911]

Again yesterday I went shopping...I felt like a person that has been in some sort of a coma for 3 years, seeing all the latest trends are so interesting to me!

As I looked through the clothing racks I realized that I was once again "holding my breath" taking quick breaths every 6 seconds or so.

But then I said to myself "Nobody is even noticing my breath".At all!
3 years of misery of BB....and look at me now! Right now look at this moment. "Nobody is talkin about me!!"

I could not help but to think of how just a few months ago...."I could barely stand in the same isle as someone w/o them sneezing or coughing.
I can still hear the voice of that woman say "I couldnt imagine leaving the house smelling like that". (who says words dont hurt?")

Well as of today I have 40 pills remaining. It has defintily been a long 50 days and eye opening to my struggle w/ BB. I cant say at all that.. I am completely cured because I can still tell I have “conversational” BB. Whether or not this nexium is the complete cure….it has defiantly made me realize I have a lot of acid production in my body.

50 days and my throat has had time to relax and I have noticed a reduction in this thick throat mucous.
I feel like I can feel what’s REALLY gong on in my throat and mouth now. Kind of like the day after the “hurricane” I feel like I am now dealing with the damage of 3 years of this terrible storm.

I’ve noticed that I could use a serious deep cleaning and enamel treatment as well on my teeth. I feel like that acid has damaged my gums and teeth as well. So I’m saving for that now.

I have been doing a lot of praying and meditation and just listening to my body. I had the strangest dream “Or maybe just a thought deferred” To begin drinking Aloe Vera Juice as well as juicing aloe plant.
So I been doing that as well…I drink 100% pure aloe Vera juice w/ lime flavor. I tried to squeeze the aloe out of the plant but that didn’t go over to well, so I just drink the juice warmed.
Still drinking the manuka honey w/ my tea at night. I try to drink warm things as many time a day as possible because It helps sooth that pain in my throat.

I did have a follow-up last week with the primary care clinic I go to, .but it was a big waste of my time! Had a\ very in-experience student doctor that knew absolutely nothing but the basics!! Diabetes, Common cold, stuff. It was so funny because half of the things I was telling her about acid reflux and BB she was looking so dumb-founded by my knowledge and her lack there of!

I just laugh at these so called “doctors” now-a days because If you don’t have something common, they really cant help you because they don’t care to know! Its best to see a specialist for everything. But anyway…enough of talking about what we all know.
So she ended up prescribing me or should I say she just wrote what I asked for , which was some Loratidine aka Claritin-D Tablets for my mucous and sinus inflammations. Its actually available with out prescription.
And she did tell me that “she” didn’t think I had any kind of ulcer in my throat because I would feel bad pain if so. And “she” feels like the pain is just from chronic inflammation of the sinuses and possibly the previous occurrence of the acid.

So that’s my update, I’m still on the site every now and then reading all of you guys updates, tips, ect…and still trying the majority of them (Lol)

P.s here are 3 really cheap products that I find to work the best of all the OTC oral stuff
~Peroxyl Mouthwash ----Its really really good as a pre-rinse .<<<< PLEASE REALLY TRY THIS!!

~Crest Pro Health Invigorating Mouth Wash

~Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste (Sensitive Gums)

~Drink “A heck” of ALOT of water all day long to constantly keep pushing all of that Post nasal drip ,mucous and if your like me that acidic spit. Just carry a gallon of water with you ALL DAY…I drink a ½ to 1 full gallon of water a day! Yes it works amazingly!

Also chew gum all day…trust me it keeps your mouth wet and that’s a good thing for us BB people.

And Blow your nose all day.

great ,inspiring update Free . Picked up manuka 15+ today myself finally . i hear hot drinks kill the medicinal properties but I'm sure it still helps to sooth a sore throat . Loads of water help recuse acid by dilution ,not to mention a host of other health benies .

Last week I began fighting th temptation to chew gum . I seemed to only help with salivation while it was fresh ,then less with each new piece ,like I'm getting a gum tolerance or something(?) . Anyway , I keep it in my pocket in case by refrain for a tolerance break as long as possible . I'm really noticing more natural spit now after only a week of weaning plus more water .

Thats funny and on-point what you say of Student Dr's . It seems when I clue them into something they are clueless about ,by the next visit they've schooled them selves on the subjects. This has happened with tonsil stones talk ,pnd talk,bb talk ... etc. If nothing else ,the newbs seem game to learn . I like that . Old school Dr's can often deny if i request a med because they think they know it all . Its not like I'm asking for high powered pain killers or medical weed or somethin . not yet .

I'm glad youre out experiencing the world a bit with new found breath buddy . I hope this becomes your New Norm .

Has anyone else been cured off of long term use of antacids? Just asking because I've been drinking wine today and I hav so much acid reflux and EXTREMELY horrible bb. I'm assuming it maybe acid related now. Anyone take Nexium in particular for longterm? My ears are starting to ache again as well as. I never thought of acid being a cause for my ear aches but man.

S4B , didn't you try high amounts of betaine ? I wonder if its low acid or Non-acid reflux ? I hear ppi's or acid reducers will likely make the issue worse if the acid is not high

[Shit4Breath]

I've been going back n forth. I'm not sure if it's low acid or too much, but last night when I drank the wine which is really acid my mouth and ear started burning. I will hopefully have insurance at the top of the year and can find this stuff out. In the meantime I ordered some Prilosec on ebay for dirt cheap. I'm going to give PPI's a try. I took a Zantac last night which seem to help abit.

BTW Merry Christmas
