"Yes, Prilosec stopped my heartburn most of the time. I have been hospitalized after I stopped. I now have arthritis so badly in both my hips, I have to have them both replaced. I'm only 44 years old. I've been taking the meds since I was 17. If I had been diagnosed or even tested for H. pylori, this could have been cured years ago, and I wouldn't have to have my hips replaced. There is no arthritis that runs on either side of my family."

"I took Prilosec for a year and a half. I noticed that my whole body ached. My bones hurt, if I bumped up against a door, my arm was so sensitive. I felt like I was 90 years old. My joints ached, and my face lost any glow. My skin was dull, flat, and pale. Once I got off this, all those symptoms went away. I have bad reflux, to where I couldn't swallow or yawn. I now take apple cider vinegar each morning, and I'm fine. I take a couple teaspoons with a splash of water in a small cup when I get up, and it works! Get off Prilosec, it will age you prematurely!"
