Find that my weighted blanket helps when I have 'nerves on fire' type pain, also restless legs, drink tonic water in evening for restless legs too (not sure it makes much difference), use heat pads, aromatherapy rubs and roll ons,

Pacing, planning, resting, distracting myself (usually crochet), mindfulness, meditation, relaxation, exercise etc all help too.

Differently a soak in Epsom salts /radox in the bath to relax muscles, I too find heat helpful. Wheat bags, hot water bottle, rub in gel for me bio freeze. differently a late Spring/Summer person warmth is totally better for me. I like drinking tonic water with slice of lemon xxhealthunlocked.com/fibromya..., ps if you would like to block your posts there is a link above that way only our community can see and gives you more privacy, take care xx

Yes, soda water helps clear the throat of nasties, I find.

I've gotten used to being cold in my unheated home, not bothering with it as I will be moving soon. I have a fan heater when it really gets cold, and I wrap up in blankets otherwise.

My pain is pretty much under control; I've found that the less medication I take, the better the results when it really gets too much.

Cheers, Midori
