Today, I have severe back pain that is only relieved by lying flat on my bed. I also have acid reflux that is only prevented by sitting straight up. FML

Sit up at an angle to partially relieve both! It's bound to work!

Some people do not like taking pain killers, due to the high risk of addiction. I refused to take narcotics, due to a large amount of friends and relatives, who have become severely addicted after sustaining injuries. OP could have a history of addiction, or share those personal views on narcotics.

I have acid reflux. Sometimes the medicines don't help fully. Or they may not be able to afford the meds they need for it, sometimes they get pretty pricey

I have severe back pain. the only medication that helps a bit has HUGE side effects. when you compare the side effects and how much (or how little ) it helps it's just not worth taking the risk.

She can take the tums and lay down to fix the headache.. No "addition" will happen. Problem solved.

By painkillers, they mean Advil or Tylenol which do not pose a high risk for dependency.

OP can take pantroprazol (probably spelt wrong) or somac (brand name) for the reflux! Pain is way harder to manage than reflux (I find).

Sometimes medications don't workfor severe acid reflux. I have it, and have taken many different medications for it, and none of them help. I'm sorry OP!

it's entirely possible that they're like my boyfriend and medicines doesn't actually have any effect on them.

This actually sounds really effective, but slightly painful.

You could put pillows under your mattress so it is raised at an angle so you are laying flat but also sitting up.

What a vicious combo. Try tying yourself to a flat board and putting it at an upward angle?

Call a doctor rather than going on FML.com, they can give you painkillers and something to combat the acid reflux.

Well at least you don't have unpredictable and explosive bowel movements to go along with those things. Though what you have is still quite unfortunate of a combination.
