No I can't, CBC, my bed isn't one of those adjustable ones.
And besides, I can only sleep comfortably lying flat, preferably on my front, and I HATE big padded pillows, they are so uncomfortable. I got pissed when I put an old pillow in the wash, that was old enough and used enough to have been completely squashed flat.
I am getting treatment for the reflux though, taking an antihistamine, ranitidine, a proton pump inhibitor, pantoprazole, and gaviscon as and when needed. The latter is helpful for other reasons too, as raising the urinary PH level retards excretion of my pain meds, not sure by how much, but the longer its kept floating about, so to speak, the better.
Also on hyoscine, at 30mg/d (as the quaternary ammonium butylbromide salt, which means the amine nitrogen has a permanent positive charge, and as such, is limited in the side effects its capable of causing, as quats don't pass the blood-brain barrier, but since the chemoreceptor trigger zone, the bit of the brain that tells people when their insides would prefer being outside lies outside the BBB, hyoscine butylbromide can't produce central signs of antimuscarinic toxicity)
Currently feeling pleasantly satisfied, with very tingly lips and tongue, after wolfing down nearly a whole roast chicken, minus some of one breast, which my folks split between them (my mom has severe MS and I think possibly developing some sort of dementia-type condition, so she eats very little, as she can't really move, and can't walk at all, she doesn't need the calories to sustain an active lifestyle)
So whenever they do a roast chicken, I end up being given almost the entire bird, which suits me. I usually put it in the fridge to get cold before eating it, but I was hungry this time, so couldn't be bothered waiting, and just slathered it in hot habanero chilli sauce, the way I always have it, and ate it right away.
Time to finish checking a few things online, take my chlormethiazole (sedative/anticonvulsant), my pain meds are kicking in already, then go sprawl out in bed with a good book and my pipe
And possibly drink some more of that hot pepper sauce, I love it.
