Waking up in pain

I would like to know if there are any other women out there who wake up in severe pain in the middle of the night? For years now, I will be having a great sleep and then out of the blue the pain wakes me up. I crawl out of bed (so I don't wake my husband) and go for a HOT shower. Bringing the shower head down and putting it directly on my stomach while sitting in the fetal position helps but I feel like a total idiot. The pain usually subsides enough that I can walk again but then I am up for the rest of the night.

Please let me know if anyone has this happening to them.

Thanks

Yes, i get woke up as well... usually around like 3 or 4 in the am, i have to take a hot bath...and my medication and wait about 20 minutes for the pain to partially subside... My husband is used to it now...it happens several times each cycle... i usually cant go back to sleep either... so i understand what you are going through and you shouldn't feel like an idiot when you are trying to make the pain stop. It can be a crippling pain and it takes what ever you can to make it ease up so please know that you are not alone...
