I have been enjoying this thread. You have reminded me of a kid at Christmas all week and it has brought a smile to my face.

I am sorry to hear about the return of the morning pain. That sucks, but you are probably right about the mattress.

The woes of insomnia and the cycle of pain. I feel like crawling to the bathroom first thing in the morning now too. And mine is only fibro, so I am truly feeling for you.

gently hugs.
