Kazbah- I wouldnt say your reflux wasnt bad at all. I know what you mean about not even being able to drink water, i cant either.

Charlotte- Thankyou for the info, it helps to learn more about it. When i vomitted the first time it was bright red blood, the vomits after that were coffee ground colour. I remember the OB testing my vomit for blood and he said "Thats blood alright and thats about as bad as it gets", this was in the coffee ground one.

I am finding the omeprazole is working well in that i dont have any burning acid. The reflux now seems to be daily, but without the burning. I am sleeping sitting up basically. And i am getting pains in my stomach and all the reflux symptoms and nausea, but not the burning, which makes it a little bit easier.

Thanks for the info on the meds like aspirin and anti inflammatories, i noticed my OB asking me the other day exactly what medications i am taking at the moment.
