[Consider]

I was checked out by my ENT today who said I have LPR which is acid backup coming into the throat from reflux. He referred me to a gastro surgeon where I will be getting checked out for a hernia and possibly surgery. LPR is causing me to have allergy and asthma like symptoms, according to him. Nose burning is common with this condition and so is ear pressure/popping plus "sinus headache". I always seem to have mucus and post nasal drip in the back of my throat even before the injury, and just started having nausea again. My Occipital Neuralgia has gone away since I have treated the allergy and asthma symptoms. I am now on a PPI called Nexium. My doctor has ordered my psych to do away with the Paxil and up the Remeron to keep the headaches down and nausea. I just want to cry I guess cause I am happy but sad cause the nightmare isn't over yet. It's 3-4 months to heal while staying on a liquid diet. Which means more time off school. My heart is breaking now. I was just getting better and now this comes along.
