Bless your heart hun i know just how u feel ...im up now cause of pain i also took extra pain med ....not much is helping though ...i made me a cup of coffee ...something warm to drink ...i know coffee they say is not good for us but it seemes to help me relax a little ...

i wish i knew how to help but im in the same way ...dont know what to do but offer u a hug ...and let u know u r not alone ....i got all up set today and now im paying big time .....i hurt all over ...

heating pads help but i dont have one big enough lol...maybe a heating blanket ?

try the bar of soap in your bed....

I've had those nights too, so can relate. Trazodone helps me sleep though, and my pain levels have reduced since I left my job.

Thoughts and prayers going your way.

sorry to hear that. we all go through bad nights. heat helps me alot and the warm drinks help too. i also have a very soft bed and that includes the blankets. the one thing that helps me the most, and you might not be able to do this is... my husband rubs my legs and such. the only time this doesnt help is when my skin feels like a sun burn. in that case i hope for a better day tomorrow.

I have seen long heating pads. (unfortunately I can't remember where?) I was to curious to hear how the bar of soap helps? I always put a bar of soap in my son's bed ( to help it smell nice) but would love to hear the benefits.

I would also like to know about the bar of soap.

I totally understand; one thing that has helped me more than anything, but is hard to do - cut out the sugar & aspartame. Honestly, it makes a world of difference for me. Also, magnesium/malic acid supplements should help.

Hope you feel better soon.
