Yes, like just the wait of your body touching the bed is painful. My husband used to laugh at me, when I'd say things like this. I've had fibro for over 20 years and he has just learned to accept all the weird aches and pains. We've recently bought an adjustable bed and it has been wonderful for my chest pains. blessings and gentle hugs
I look at it this way, pretend your pain is a radio switch on, you can go about things during the day and it not really bother you, but when everything is quite and still, boy can you here it . The pain is bad during the day but when you try to rest it becomes unbearable. That's when i need extra help i have lots of meds at night to help me sleep but i wake up offten in the night so am grumpy when i wake.
Often the less distractions we have, the more pain we are aware of.
