Heartburn Stinks

So up until about a month or so ago, I had never experienced heartburn... and I so wish I could go back to the time.  Seems like it doesn't matter what I eat or drink these last couple days and instantly I have heartburn.  So I took my first tums last night and to anyone who thinks those things are good, seriously needs to get their head examined... they are chalky and not good at all! But it did seem to help enough that I could get some sleep - whatever that means these days, tossing and turning and trying not to walk up on my back (which inevitably I do).  Gotta love it!
