Are you feeling any lessening of the 'something in the throat feeling" with Nexium, Prevacid, etc? I ask because that feeling can be a less common symptom of TMJ as well and sometimes i am not sure which is the cause! Maybe some of both AND allergies! I do think LPR is the major culprit, but I think it may not be the only one in my case. Luckily mine comes and goes and has been gone for quite some time, but Id still like to figure it out. I havent taken any PPIs yet. I am trying an acid ease product and papaya tablets, but am considering the drugs if it returns.
