[QUOTE="gennepher, post: 2083767, member: 238814"] Hi [USER=502009]@Viv19[/USER] I note what you have just said. So I have done a bit more research, but I am still finding that 3 months is the recommended time to be on it, or max 6 months. I have been on it for 15 years now and so this concerns me a lot. I have had heartburn problems etc since before1980's and doc gave me pink medicine back then. I had an endoscopy early 2000's which revealed a hiatus hernia, GERD, and problems with my esophagus. I cannot swallow very well, and I have to be careful. I have also seen a speech and language therapist (it's not for actual speech and language but throat problems), last year because of swallowing problems. I ended up on another med. My father and brother both had same swallowing problems etc. Presumably this is something in the genes? My Grandfather had cancer of the throat, and I still recall that eating away at his face and throat in his 70's. But, apparently, he was diagnosed with that cancer in his 20’s. Thanks but Rennies is no help. I bought something more powerful from the chemist to tide me over while I think, research, and consider what I want to do. I would like to find a more 'natural' way to approach this, if it is at all possible. Your brother is a very useful double check go-to-person, and probably saved your bacon a few times. DISCLAIMER: the above is my own personal journey and NOT any advice to anyone. I would also like to emphasise the medicines and medical procedures have their valuable place. Bear in mind I am a cantankerous old lady who will be 70 years old in a week today. >^..^< [/QUOTE]
