Q: I have grade B esophagus erosion, symptons: feels like something is in my throat, constant burps.

Not much appetite, when burps occour, taste whatever I ate.  The condition was under control & I was taking 1 protonix daily to maintain.  8 months ago I was diagnosed w/PMR & was prescribed 15mg Prednizone daily & 17 mg Methotrexate 1 time weekly.  I have tapered down to 5mg Prednizone & 14.5 mh methotrexate weekly.  Could these Meds have irritated my esophagus to become more irritated and made the symptons to reoccur?
