Thanks for the response. I too am struggling with the "enough vs too much" sleep.
Sadly not much. Too much rest hurts - not enough hurts. For me - calming my brain. It doesnt remove the pain - just help you manage it til it is gone. Right now it's causing my arthritis in my hip and neck to be so painful I just want to sleep - but too much sleep makes me hurt more and stiff along with pain. Managing it and keeping my thoughts positive is about all I have. The rubs and drugs help some but not enough. Sorry hope you find something good that works. Become good at distraction.
