IS GERD CAUSING ALL OF THIS?? HELP

When I read all the comments about gerd, I have flash backs to seven years ago when my husband was suffering from acid reflux. After some research, I discovered a new procedure they were doing at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville called the Linx system. We went down and he had the procedure done and it fixed his acid reflux/gerd issue perfectly. However, while he was there he was diagnosed with Idopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. His pulmonary Dr there said that most likely he had aspirated the acid into his lungs which contributed to the fibrosis. So, we began our 7 year journey of ups and downs dealing with pulmonary fibrosis. Sadly, on Jan 2, 2021 our 56 years together ended as he quietly slipped away from me to meet his Lord. I share my story to say, please don't mess around if you have serious acid reflux. And the Linx procedure seems to be a much better option than the Nissan procedure. Also the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville is an awesome place. Please keep me in your prayers, as I begin a new journey alone.

@wreath It is good of you to share that information with us. I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband. I will pray for you on your new journey and hope you find much love and kindness along the way. Kate

@wreath So sorry for your loss. My friend suddenly lost her husband a year ago at only 62 years old. I see how hard it is.

🙏
