Reply #6: nexium?

[SCantiGOP]

The little purple pill changed my life. About five years ago, it got to where I would wake up with horrible heart burn around 3 or 4 in the morning. The only way to handle it was to take two Alka Seltzer Heartburn Relief tablets, which wasn't a good idea since I have high blood pressure and the two tablets have about 50% of your daily sodium. This was happening several times a week, and of course once you get up and do that your restful night of sleep is over and you feel like crap the next day. The attacks didn't seem to be tied to what I ate or how much alcohol I had. Since I started taking the Nexium I have not had one single case of heartburn.
The doctor asked me once if I wanted to keep taking it, and I told him if not he was going to see me on the nightly news holding up a pharmacy: "What do you want? Demerol, morphine?" "No, give me the little purple pill!"
