Hi, @vickie53 -- yes, I can imagine that would really hurt to have your esophagus continuously burning.

I'd like to introduce you to some other members on Connect who have talked about burning or other unpleasant sensations in the esophagus, like @kozlo52 @craig7 @waterboy @windwalker @kdubois. I'm hoping they may have some input on the constant esophageal burn, and perhaps they will also have some thoughts on the medications not helping, the difficulty getting sleep and the LINX procedure you are considering.

@vickie53 - have you found anything that brings even temporary relief to the burning feeling?
