A new attempt

I have been suffering from GERD for several years, and it is driving me crazy!  My insurance company does not want to pay for the treatment (Prevacid) that worked in the past, claiming that the OTC stuff works just as well.  So I’ve been trying the OTC stuff and it has not been working at all.  So I decided that I would just “tough it out” financially and pay for the Prevacid out of my pocket!  Well, that was a very expensive attempt, and it didn’t work anymore either!  So now the doctor has decided to give me something I hadn’t tried before; I think he called it Protonix.  I tried it for the first time yesterday, and it seemed to work pretty well.  Today is my second day, and so far so good.  I hope it keeps working!  The insurance company did pay for part of it, but it is still expensive.  What a shame that health care is so expensive!
