Little pain ... It brings a lot of discomfort.
I hate this GERD Disease. It really has changed my life. I feel I'll never be normal. And I've been crying for the past few days that this is what is going to take me out at the very end.

I've suffered from GERD since around 2004. I went on Omeprazole initially and then switched to Esomeprazole after a bad flare up. With that and some dietary and lifestyle changes I manage to be free from it most of the time now. I avoid spicy food, onions, garlic, excessive dairy. I also make sure that I don't lie down until at least 3 to 4 hours after eating. I was a candidate for surgery but I decided against it in the short term as there are some possible complications that you may have to live with which could be more annoying than the GERD itself.
