just read through the looooooong thread on this problem.
Have any of you had any breakthroughs?
Some mentioned getting together as a group. Is there one yet if yes would love to be involved.
My partner has had this for around 6months. it is worse when he is sitting down. pain behind sternum and in the corresponding position on his back. Last time he saw a doctor he was 8 and had tonsils removed.
So he is not a hyperch. By 46 he also knows what normal belching is vs excessive. Today a doctor poked his sternum a bit and his back, said cough and then said you are in great health -- just take some gaviscon - medical advice that a 6 year old would be smart enough to give!
All family doctors should be forced to read this site on the subject. Jeez i feel like an expert myself after reading it.
Is there like a facebook burp and belch page that people can join just to get a better idea of numbers of people suffereing from this. Then it is something we could more easily draw more medical attention to?
If anyone has started something already please let us know.
Feel really sad for those who have been suffering this for years and no one taking it seriously and how many more out there think it is just them?
