Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Oh I'm sorry Donna. It is good that you found out though. Would it be a good thing if one of the meds was making it worse? Can you just change the med then and have improvement? Gail :-) Not good news on the endoscopy results. Doc started off his conversation saying, " I'm really glad we decided to do this " . Maddie's esophagus is still very inflamed. So he wants to try a stronger med. I forget what it's called...I think he said it begins with a C. I have to write to Dr. Capone and make sure there are no contraindications with the behavior meds she is already on. I also read where certain meds can make GERD worse, so I have to find out if the risperdal and abilify are on that list. UGH...AND he wants to go back in in 3 to 4 months...here we go again!!!!!

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Hi Donna, You said the new med started with a " c " ? Could it be Carafate? (sp?) Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will write to Dr. CApone and see if he can name it for me. Thanks, Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that the only way to tell if things are getting better is to do an endoscopy, since Maddie can't tell us. Gosh, all the technology we have in this world and we can't see inside without doing invasive techniques. Sheesh!!! Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
