So I got hypnotized this morning...
by the whirr and whish of the oscillating fan in the living room. And fell asleep, sitting up. So not like me. To back up, I woke up at 7:30 - when Rob left (without kissing me goodbye by the way) and I heard the door shut. On hot days the wood of the door swells a bit thus you have to really pull it shut. So I was up. Plus I had to tinkle :) So I wandered around for a bit, flipped channels looking for my cousin Molly's Nexium commercial, and made a few phone calls to catch up with some friends. Then I sat down to catch a bit of ER. And that was the end of that. I woke up at 11:20! I must have needed it! To be honest I cannot wait to go away next weekend. I know I had that day up in Maine at the beginning of August, but come on people let's be real. That was a day. This is a whole weekend, with tickets to George Carlin. And a really cool sounding hotel with a Jacuzzi and ocean views. I am trying to not focus on the "what might happen", and instead focus on what I know as noted above. :)

My name is Jon Star and i would like to show you my personal experience with Nexium.
I am 34 years old. Great medicine. I only hope that I don't become dependant on it. But as my esphogus heals then maybe I'll be able to take an OTC PPI if my symtoms re-occur and I catch them ASAP! Can't wait for a generic. BLUE CROSS of MA won't pay for Nexium unless I start on generic Prilosec, then Protonix, then if both of those failed, they would pay for Nexium. I hate BLUE CROSS! My Dr. was great in giving me 7 weeks of samples when he heard this and Aztra-Zeneca gave me a 7-day coupon I re-deemed at my local pharmacy(with a written 7-day script from my Dr.)
No major side effect. Sometimes a feeling of indigestion/bloated, possibly due to low or no stomach acid as a result of a PPI. So, I am sure to chew my food well and not to eat large portions. I have introduced foods/drinks back into my diet, that before taking Nexium would otherwise bring-on reflux symtoms. Fruit juices and citric acid containing drinks still are bothersome. But, I've eaten Pizza, and am able to drink coffee/tea, both decaf(not to excess though.) A little at a time. I do not drink any alcohol! I still limit any food intake 3 hours before bedtime and try to sleep on my left side. Nexium has given me the greatest relief as compared to all OTC H2 and OTC PPI's. I'm on week 5 of an 8 week treatment.
I hope this information will be useful to others,
Jon Star
