That's awful, Lion. I don't have a cough or the burning throat, but it's the terrible taste I get. Doesn't seem to matter what I eat. I'm taking the Zantaz 2 times a day this week and it's helping. I'm going to the doctor next week. I don't want any of that endo stuff done. I know someone who had permanent damage from the test. I am beginnig to find out how many people have this. You're right. It does seem that eveyone you mention it to has it or had it or knows someone who does.
