HowardPatrick,
I also have trouble lying down at times but not like I did back in October when I spent day & night screaming - I was on vicodin then - it didn't touch the pain. Strangely enough, a combination of neurontin and Lorazepam as needed has done more to help the pain than any commonly used pain killers. My cousin who has ON since the 80's explained to me that the reason Lorazepam works is it goes to the nerves- unlike most pain meds. The common practice is to start with nerve blocks (needles in back of your head) if no luck facet nerve block, and then more invasive methods. Most pain doc web sites give you the methods they will do. Like you, I am trying to find the magic solution. Good luck.
