heartburn

I could just scream! I have heartburn to end all heartburn and no end in sight until about a couple of months after I deliver probably since that is what happened last time. Seriously, I have it 24 hrs. a day just about. At best it feels like Frank’s Red Hot is stuck in my throat (which if you love it like I do, sometimes it ain’t that bad!). At the worst, pretty much from 4pm-the early morning, it feels like someone is taking a knife and stabbing me in the back between my shoulders. When I bend forward at all (even to look down at a laptop on my lap like twice) or lie down it gets 3000 times worse so I have been sleeping sitting up for days now. Not very restful as you can imagine and I am starting to get a little frustrated. I am taking 2 heartburn max. strength pills each day on top of pretty much an entire bag of tums, which usually doesn’t even touch it. I am afraid to take anything else because of the babies and try to get through it without taking more pills usually, but its getting to the point of making me incredibly miserable. Sometimes a warm bath or milkshake/ice cream (believe it or not) or plain bread will help but usually it just has to work its way through. Any suggestions of things that’ll help? (BTW- this is Melisa, not Jason!)
