This is what has been said to me, what I have read, and what had helped me from experience. If sleeping on your right side works better for you, than I say stick with that.

Yeah just about every time I'm even slightly horizontal, or if I'm moving around a lot.

To be honest, the last time I took medicine for it was a year ago. I stopped mostly out of stubbornness in being in a routine, but also because nobody would give me a straight answer on what the medication did to help my problem, so I always held a little resentment towards the doctors.

...Mostly the stubbornness though. Realizing this could turn into cancer if I keep this up, I'll be getting another check-up next month and plan to stick to the medication this time.

Is that for losing weight? I probably should've mentioned I weigh around 105lbs-- VERY underweight, though I think I've always been. Along with not eating much to begin with, my Achalasia has probably made weight gaining seem impossible.

I'll definitely look into it, thanks :)

I usually have a bottle of water nearby to weigh down whatever I'm eating just in case it backs up. Now I treat flavored drinks like deserts.

And man, some doctors can be huge assholes.
