This is a 6yr old problem for me, I've been on Nexium for around 4yrs, I was physically traumatized 13yrs ago, this drastically aged me requiring many different medications for the fallout of the injury; I had most of the symptoms before I started Nexium. I now only take an infusion for RA every 4wks, Armor Thyroid and Nexium daily, how do I know if Nexium has any negative effects on me? With all that I have been through this seems small so should it really matter?
