Oh...if only we could just fast forward through the worst parts of the day...lol!

One thing I found very helpful was keeping a journal of my symptoms, when they increased, when they decreased, etc. It helped me zero in on what was triggering the pain flare ups. Maybe there's something that happens at that time of night (temps drop), maybe there's a particular activity you do around then, maybe that's just what time your body reaches it's limit of activity, etc. You can start to see patterns and then start to make changes to your daily activities to minimize the flare ups.
