So far I think a good (which means expensive) peppermint oil is the best thing for pain but you have to be very careful with it and don't get in the eyes and don't let pets lick it off you and don't use a diffuser around pets.

I have to let you know that I'm a senior and I found out a long time ago that fruit juices contain too much sugar. I used to wake up with debilitating cramps in my legs and found out it was because I drank orange juice which has a lot of sugar in it. Recently I was convinced to try pomegranate juice again because it's so good for you but I've been getting cramps again so unfortunately I have to stick with the whole fruit. I honestly do not have any problem falling asleep. It's just hard to stay in bed with the nerve pain after falling asleep. But I'm always willing to experiment so maybe I'll try the tart cherry juice.

Shotsey try Cherry juice! You can buy on Amazon. It really helps !

Was just remembering a friend with Fibromyalgia would put lavender essential oil on her pillow and that helped her fall asleep.

I tried that, but being used to no smells at bedtime, that actually kept me awake.

Lavender is a pleasant smell, there are some people this might help.

“ Sleep Aid

Studies have shown that inhaling essential oils — including lavender essential oil — may be a safe alternative to other medications for mild to moderate sleep disturbances.”

Physical Therapy is the only remedy I found, whereat I got exercises to do while prone (I do them in bed) to prevent reoccurrence...This PAIN is the pits. Lyrica was terrifying - it made me not know why I was out driving nor where I was supposed to go! I had to pull over & call the Hubster! Scary to the max. All their 'head shrinking' drugs are horrid, IMOHO&E... only Treating the Underlying Causation is effective. Brilliant Dr. J. Teitelbaum's books - initially: "From Fatigued to Fantastic" 4th ED is amazing... I met him while he was introducing 1st Ed. & I'm honored to still be in touch.
