Hiya Sherrie, and All others,
I haven't done this for a while, since my wife has control of my home right now, but used to wake up in the morning, and have a nice warm bath (I'm a plumber and put myself in a whirlpool), drink a cup of tea, and over heat my body.
Then, get out and wear a long heavy terry robe.
That was before my second accident, which started all this over the top sweating nonsense. Of course, I'd take my first (much smaller dose of methadone) too. That worked well for me. Then.

Now (after the second accident) all bets are off with the sweating, I hafto finish any bath/shower with a cool shower, just so I can dry off, or even close.

Sherrie,
these stabbing/shooting sensations, I get them too. Although not so often down my spine, anymore.
Did the chiro adjustment seem to help?
I hope you get some relief from that. It's gotta be a torture for sure.

I hope everyone gets a pain free hour or so today!

Pete
