rj,

Please describe you pain and discomfort. There may be things you can do to deal with some of your discomfort.

I have to get very comfortable to be able to sleep. I had to learn to sleep on my back. I also need to have my pillow bunched up so my right cheek has contact and my head does not tilt too far to the right. I can not sleep with my head tilted to the left.

Have you had any pain diagnostics done to determine if there is a skeletal problem that needs to be addressed ?

I usually get my best sleep in a recliner. I curl up in a recliner with a comfy blanket and proper neck/head support and sleep like a baby. The feeling of rejuvenation after such a sleep is amazing. I don't have many of these good sleep sessions so when I do, I really notice the difference.

You are just starting to learn about your symptoms. Try to listen to your body and connect your sensations to surrounding events and issues. You will start to see patterns of cause and effect.

You do not need high tech medical skills to start to understand these cause and effect issues. Let go of your anxieties long enough to try to think back about these issues. You will eventually start to see the patterns.
