Yes, I do progressive relaxation when this happens. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. It's my stomach that starts hurting shortly after I wake up. It's a gripping pain that gets worse until I just can't stand it. I take a Zantac, have some tea and cereal, eat some Tums an TRY to relax but it takes so long to settle down. And if and when I fall back to sleep my stomach wakes me up again with that gripping, nagging pain. It lasts most of the day too. Until late at night it stops and I fall asleep for the night. Then it wakes me up again and it starts all over again.

I can't go to a mall and walk. The closest mall is 20 miles away and I have to lay down by the time I get there.
