I am glad you rested. It is not caving it is taking care. I agree sleep is very key to both body and mind. I often feel like I will loose it. Bad enough being in pain if one was up reg hours but to add more hours to the day makesit even harder. You even hear people not in pain saying how they ache from lack of sleep.
I have also heard good things about the methadone but I wonder why it is not used more. I was suggested it by one doc but then never was it brought up. I never thought Aleve would help. I think before this I took it from random "normal" things. It is all day or 8 hour right? You are lucky to get a prompt call back. Usually where I am they say go to the er on the recording.
