Hi Buggie and thank you for your post. I am very relieved to know that others know how it is with this thing - it was another bad day today, waking very early in pain. I smiled when I read you suggesting hot/warm showers as I have just finished one and it has eased things for a while. It is so true about dreading bed time - I try not to get into that frame of mind so that I am not tensing in the anticipation of what * come, but it is difficult when it happens night after night after night.
Anyway, a big thank you to you and all who have passed on their experiences and good wishes in response to this post and know that I pass the same to all of you.
Hugs
Dianne
