Today has been very unpleasant - my wife has been in pain most to all day, and couldn't sleep last night. We've tried pretty much everything we can think of, and now she seems mostly settled, but there's no telling whether she'll be able to drive me to work tomorrow, or be able to get a good night's sleep, or whether she'll even avoid suffering a relapse when she gets up.
Anyone who knows Laura, give her some messages of love and goodwill, huh? She needs all the help she can get.

I hope she feels better!
Sarah G.'s suggestion of taking Kava Kava sounds intriguing. I just might give it a try. Whatever you do, I hope that Laura is out of pain very soon and that you can let go of those worries.
I haven't tried Kava Kava, but I'll definitely look for some - I'm willing to try anything.
I have painkillers and muscel relaxants from the doctor but there's some nights they don't even touch the pain.
I have a TENS unit that helps some. It is a chronic issue- I'm currently going for chiropracty and therapy three times a week - though I couldn't make it today because I couldn't get out of bed. Hopefully Friday.
And Aus is a great hubby- he's been helping me all day. <3
Although Kava Kava works for many without any problems, it has been linked to serious liver problems in others. Use with extreme caution and speak to a doctor first about any pre-existing conditions.

Feel better than better soon.

I hope this information helps.
May things get better for you both.
