Question by Tiffany: Acid relux? but symptoms continue. Please help.?
i have a BIGG problem. Last year, around july, i started experiencing odd symptoms. Eventually i went to the doctor, and the doctor told me i had “reflux”. He gave me medicine called, “prilosec-otc” to try for a month. The symptoms still continue. At the moment i am no longer taking “prilosec” and the doctor told me to take “charcoal plus”. That does not help either. My symptoms continue, & it actually seems to be getting worse.
My symptoms are: Throat burning feeling, Stomach burning feeling, loud stomach & throat sounds, trouble breathing, uncontrollable hunger (i get hungry VERY fast now, & if i don’t eat right away, by stomach starts making loud embarrassing sounds), trouble swallowing, constant burping (& when i burp, i would always experience vomit or acid coming up to my throat) which causes my throat to experience burning. Please help me. My doctor says that its all in my head. Ugh, please help me, i can’t live like this.

Question by smc ?: has this ever happened to your throat? had it for a month! please someone give me some advice!?
Symptoms:
-Bumps on back of throat (red, painless)
-neck hurts (just below my ear lobes first was the left side, now its the right), and my Glands are swollen. Left gland has a red lines on it.
-Feeling of something in my throat that I cant get up. its like right above where an adams apple would be on a man.
-When I stick out my tongue I can see my tonsils, and if I really stretch out my tongue & relax, my “hangy ball” touches my tonsils.
-everything i cough up is colorless, sometimes alil yellowishy but if i get a very deep cough sometimes their will be little tiny specs of brown (they said from where i used to smoke)

Time Line::
*Sept. 16- went to the dr. b/c i was coughing up brown phlem & glands were swollen & red, dr said “throat infection & bronchitis” I was put on zpak & took it until it was all gone. ((I Smoke Ciggs))
*Oct. 03- went back to the dr. b/c glands where still swollen & red and I had a sensation of a lump in my throat, dr. said “Acid Reflux” I was put on priolsec 2x’s a day for 14 days. ((I Quit Smoking))
*Oct. 08- went back to the dr. b/c i wasnt feeling any better, they said it was just a sore throat & to take it easy. its not any better or looking any different.

I had my blood taken 3 different times & had my thyroid checked, was checked for mono, strep & hpollo : all negative. I saw four different doctors! Tomorrow I have an ultrasound due for my throat & neck. Im scared & I want to know if anyone else had been through something like this? its not painful just aggravating. eating makes it go away for a little bit. all the dr’s have done is shine a light down their & tell me it looks irritated & take blood to test me for strep, mono. have me pee in a cup and feel of my throat.

Answer by dr C
Have your Dr check for the follwing diseases:
1. chronic fatigue syndrome with an ebstein- barr titer
2. chronic mono with monospot
3. chronic recurrent herpes with culture and ab titer
The above 3 diseases can cause similar complaints and often go undiagnosed.
Cultures, scrapings, and biopsy if necassary should be done
