Does anyone else with GERD/Acid Reflux ever experience a really really dry throat that causes problems such as it's sore when eating and the like.

My throat feels exactly like it does before I start to come down with things but it's been like this for days and it definitely feels acid reflux related. It now 'feels' to me that my esophagus is really starting to take a hit due to my acid problems - has anyone ever had esophageal problems due to acid reflux?

I have an appointment with the doctor on Thursday to look into it further but it is quite discomforting, stressing and sore.
