---My battle with GERD has been on-going for many years. Some 15 years ago, my Internal Med doctor prescribed Nexium which, after a few months, cleared it. About 5 years ago, the GERD returned. My new physician offered Omeprazole; it too worked, after some months. But recently, six months ago, the problem returned with the typical symptoms, including an acidic sore throat. This time, the Omeprazole did nothing. We waited --and suffered-- three months. Then, my dosage was doubled. Still, no improvement. In fact, the sore throat became severe. This non-stop burning throat has been with me for four months. It is only relieved with endless lozenges and sugar-free gum. And, most important, there are now slightly painful lymph nodes that appear and disappear throughout the day. Very troubling stuff. Reportedly, GERD does not cause painful nodes, but a serious larynx condition does.

---Does any one know of cases in which GERD is accompanied by persistent sore throat and swollen or painful nodes?
