Debra,

First of all thank you for letting us know about our Brother Fame. Sounds like you are a caring friend of his. To go along with what Afs suggested my hubby has Gerd. He has some of the symptoms you described. The Doctor put him on Nexium and he said he's feeling better.

I hope the doc's can find out what is wrong with him soon. Please check in from time to time and let us know how he is doing. Please tell Fame he is in my thoughts and prayers.
