Hi, sorry you feel so bad, I know what you mean about the leg pain, my bottom half of my body always seems to be worse than anywhere else and that's saying something! Hope the blood test is ok and I always read in bed just to try and relax myself, I started reading paperbacks when I dropped them on my nose several times from dozing off .......

Hi Angiel

Hope you are feeling better now. I try to restrict my painkillers during the day so they are more effective at night. I also use hot water bottles and have a memory foam mattress not just a topper as well as memory foam pillows.

Keep the room as dark as possible and get up as soon as you wake up, never have a lie in. Get outside as soon as you can, I walk around the garden in my pj's and dressing gown (neighbours used to it by now).

Read watch or listen to something funny, and remember it is only pain, feeling it is better than the alternative.

thank you i have a matress topper as couldnt afford the actual mattress and memory foam pillow, i very rarely have a lay in as i know if i dont get up i could lay there all day and sleep lol. oh and i dont take painkillers ibuprofen upsets my tummmy and dont like paracetamol so just have to get on with the pain may use the cusion between knees not tried that one yet

I use a full length body pillow..like you get for pregnancy to support my body. I also have numerous pillows which I use to pad my body when going to sleep, a memory foam topper and a memory foam pillow for my head...just as well I'm single dont think there'd been room for a hubby in the double bed with the pillows too haha!

the recent cold weather makes me tense up, thus making my pains worse, which may be the same with you. I've taken to covering the display on my clock at night to make the room a little darker and to stop me looking at the time and getting worried about not sleeping. Hope you feel easier soon
