My sympathies too, on your pain, Crossstich. I don't have any personal knowledge of those drugs either. But I do think highly of Dr. Weil, so I thank Yonuh for checking his site and passing his info along.

Based on my experience, Mountain Ash is correct that we can't discount the importance of pacing ourselves and keeping warm. Both hard to do during holiday times. But I can say from personal experience that my health and energy levels have been so much better since I started using my PAP machine to treat my sleep apnea -- allowing me to get deeper, better sleep -- AND making sure to get at least seven hours of sleep a night.

So if you can get enough relief from the pain to sleep, I highly recommend it!!
