Being dependant on oxygen doesn't mean your life is over. I've found it opens doors where I never knew they existed. This blog is to help those who live with oxygen needs. It is also for the spouses, children, and others who help the individuals who are on oxygen to lead a quality life.

Ok, no one knows why I'm having acid reflux for sure. I'm telling you that it was a real problem for me. I have one true weakness and that is that I can't handle being nauseated. I can handle all sorts of pain or discomfort but when it comes to nauseation, I'm toast! So, when the doctor finally prescribed Nexium, I latched onto it like it was a winning lottery ticket!
To tell you the truth, I think it might be the Tracleer that's giving me the problem. Since I have the Nexium, which is expensive, I'm still giving Tracleer a try. I've been on Tracleer since July 2006 and so far, I've noticed some difference! As weird as this may seem, I now can walk and talk at the same time. Though, not for a long time because I still get a bit tired if I walk and talk a lot. But, it is surprising to have that ability back.
There is suppose to be a new drug coming out soon. It's a bit better than Tracleer with not so harsh Liver problems. FDA may be approving it within the next couple of months. I don't know the name of it but I'm going to ask when I go to the doctor's in December. That's all I know about it. Sorry ya'll!
