Q: Epigastric Burning/pain X 4 Months

I am a 14 year old girl, with burning/stomach pain in center of upper abdomen since May '07. Dr. thought this was gastritis from taking steroids/ antibotics in March/ April for pneumonia/asthma. Also Had Mono March/ April.
Burning pain is sometimes so bad I cannot breathe in.
Negative Abdominal ultrasound.
Negative blood test including one for pyloric ulcer.
They scheduled me a endoscope but not until first of October.
Was on Prislosec rx strength from May til July(no relief) then tried Nexium til now- still no relief.
What could this be???????
Acidy things do make it worse, however Dr. said if it was Reflux disease the Nexium would have helped.
Any one know what it could be???

Try taking this when it acts up:

1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp (that's TEASPOON, not TABLESPOON) baking *soda*

That basically neutralizes acid on contact. Post with your results.
