I'm so sorry for your insomnia. I get it too when my back also tightens and I get nerve pain down my leg. Fortunately for me, it doesn't happen too often.

Today I went to UCI and had 2 appts. I started the day by having a Hip injection with the Doctor that I really could not stand . He is, however , a very good a injection giver. I had a bursa injection in my right hip. Then I had the appt with the fibro doctor. She sent me for many different blood tests as well as X rays of my hands and feet. She did not want to change my meds until she gets the results back from the tests . My next appt is not until August so I just have wait againMelissa
