Heat pad! My heat pad is my salvation when I flare up. Nights are always a lot worse for me, and when the weather turns cold (well, as cold as it gets here in SoCal ) my heat pad is my best friend. Pain meds, peppermint tea to help the tummy and my heat pad. I swear to you- you will love it.

Hope this helps! Relax and breathe! Stressing over the pain sets up a vicious circle of stress and increased pain.
