If "showtruck" sees this message...You've go Hpylori my man...the doctors will keep testing you until you run out of money..they knew i had h-pylori in March..8 mos later after 4 trips to the emergency
room because of the pain, scans, endoscopys (2) and guessing in general..i got a prescription for $80.00..prevacid, amoxicillin (500mg) and flagyl..two weeks later i was fine..that was in 2006..now i can swallow normally, but once in a while, maybe once a year i have about a 45 minute episode of incredible pain and then it goes away and i'm fine.
