I don't mean to sound alarmist, but this is NOT something to play around with. People can and do die from internal bleeding in their gastro tracts.
After being on prevacid for 3 months, I had a second scope done that showed I was 100% healed up. Doc took me off of medication and I've been on a normal diet ever since without any problems (I'm enjoying a nice glass of wine right now as a matter of fact). Doc's not sure what caused it but I'm 100% now (I had a bad habit of eating 1 big meal a day and that's about it, Doc thought that might be the cause. I eat 3 meals a day now).
If you let it go, the lesions can perforate your stomach entirely, and stomach juices can then leak into your body cavity. Then you're in for some dramas. Not something that happened to me thank goodness, and it's not something I'd want to have happen to you either.
Please, please, go see your doctor. He'll probably refer you to a gastroenterologist, who will probably do an endoscope to diagnose you.
Don't wait.
Please Note: I am not a doctor, and am just relaying my personal experiences.

Holly shit, now that's scary
HOw long did it take until it got that bad after you had the symptoms?
Yesterday I went to my pharmacist who gave me some antiacid pills but didnt seemed alarmed that it was going on for like almost a week now. I gotta say the pills do help for now...
He said to go see a doc if the symptoms persists for 2-3 extra days. Its complicated for me to see one this week because I have to work on daytime and im moving to another place at the same time
I sure hope my case isnt as bad as yours... Thanks for your input!
