what I do to get going in the morning is I get up at 6am and take my methadone and then I go back to sleep for 2 hours, and my morning are much easier since I started doing that. I am sorry your having trouble in the mornings

I agree. I love bedtime. My bed is soooo comfortable and I love to read before falling asleep. The worst moment is when I become fully conscious in the early morning and realize that the pain is still there. There is a blissful moment when I am just slightly awake and think there is no pain, but then, consciousness kicks in and voil! Yet another day of dealing with pain. I would love to fall asleep for a long long time and wake up healthy. Sleeping beauty! A gorgeous prince would be a bonus but I'd settle for just a new healthy body.

I feel fine in the morning................but within a couple of hours the pain is here and here to stay....................I also can't wait to get in bed at night and lay down.............feels like I could stay there forever:):):)

I get up real early (cause I work)...............so I go to bed REAL early too............REAL early:):)

Nite Nite..............LOL

I dread the kids coming home too.

My favorite time of day is after dinner as that is me time for the most part and I dont have to do anything but sit and watch TV we eat sort of late so after the dinner dishes it can be 730 as I dont wash the right after we eat I need some rest first after making dinner.

Morning are tough as I am now taking my niece to school and I have to get up at a certain time but with me walking her to school I can stretch out and that helps relieve some muscle spasms.

Mine is evening when I can sit in the recliner with my feet up.
After 40yrs I finally watch TV. I discovered I'm not good at sharing either.
Mornings are miserable & night I worry about waking up through the night so its evening for me.
I do the same Freedom, set my alarm take my med & doze off til I get some relief.

Morning is my favorite. I enjoy watching the birds at the bird feeder. (and sometimes the snakes, rabbits, deer, Beagles, horses, basically anything that moves in the back of the property) I used to have a miniature goat (forget official breed) that would climb onto a box next to the barn. From there it would climb onto the back of one of the horses. I think they were planning to run away and join the circus. Anyway, it was very entertaining to me:-)

Sleep is the best time for me for sure! I hate waking up in the morning hurting like crazy. I sleep as long as I can in the morning and I get up and take my meds and lay down again until I can't stand it anymore and have to move around a little. This life really sucks sometimes! Hope you all have a good day!

I think my favorite is morning. I look forward to my coffee and sitting one the deck in my relax a back chair. This time of year makes it extra nice.

I don't have any children to come home from school but I do have my oldest son who calls me everyday on his way home from work. I get to hear about his stressful day at work and then his frustration in traffic. Somedays I just have to say I can't talk right now. He understands. He always asks about my day and how i am feeling.

Night is the hardest. It is when I hurt more. Then I am waiting until I can take my meds and go to bed. I miss the days when I would roam around the house and find little projects. These days I can't even concentrate on reading a book at night.

Dixie I understand what you are saying. Pain takes a toll on tolerance of the stressful things. Also when it comes at the end of the day it is even harder to manage.

Peace and love to you my friend.

Ok I am going to be corny. My favorite time of day is when I wake in the morning I can barely move. So first I take some medication to get me perking. Then I take my iPhone off it's charger and check what all my dear friends are doing on DS. That is my favorite time of the day. When I catch up on your news.

Sometimes your news breaks my heart and sometimes it makes me laugh. But always I feel connected to something larger than myself and that makes me feel good. It is the feeling of community, of family and I am sincerely grateful for having DS in my life.

Waking up to all of your stories is the best connection to life that I could imagine. Thank you all for being there and for being a part of this fabulous community. Hugs, Cathy

I've really enjoyed reading everyone's responses. Don't know why, but I really have.

Hugs to you all.........and Cheers 'to your favorite time of the day' :)

I am completely with you. By the time the kiddos finally get to bed and I spend time with my partner I am ready for bed. I am not so much tired as I really just want to lie down and get all the pressure off my back. Those first 30 secods after lying down and getting settled in are the second best 30 seconds of my day, the first being seeing my kids beautiful smiles when I walk in the door each evening :)

Wishing you a peaceful evening and strength to keep pushing through.

My favorite part of day is(although not related to pain issues) is about 6-8pm. The sun is sitting lower in the sky, most people are home from work and there is a quiet feeling. When I was working, this is when I got home from work, lit some candles and began to relax from my day. Loved it. As far as pain goes I'd have to say bedtime. No more worries about what I have to do, I can get my jammies on, crawl into bed and get into my comfortable position.
