Yeah, it is a learning curve for everyone involved, gD. Even people who care can hardly believe how super-sensitive we are. It helps to tell them anecdotes about *other* people you know of from the forums. That sometimes helps make the syndrome more real.
That's so nice that your husband does all that massage for you. I think it's *very* therapeutic. I've been getting some targeted massage from my chiropractor and it's really unlocking things for me.
I hope you can get a faster Internet connection. It's a real lifeline -- a source of info, entertainment, etc.

Stan, do you think the vibration and tingling is w/d? Sounds like it eventually goes away? I'm sorry I don't know what those strange words mean in reality?
Sheila, I woke with a headache again yesterday so got hubby to do the neck (it seems to come from the shoulder blade and neck up into my head) but it had no effect, unfortunately. It might need to be done on a regular basis like my legs and butt.
The internet is fine today - it seems to depend on what time I use it and probably whether heaps of others are on at the same time. I'll just try different times until hubby does something.
I have come to realise nothing really works. Sometimes I take the night mercyndol and it doesn't work. Other times it works. Then I don't take it and the headache lasts another 2 or 3 days. This was a big risk after only 1 day headache yesterday (but I had one only 2 days before) so I decided not to take the mercyndol at bedtime - and there you go - today it was a lot better. It is crazy, just crazy.
I realised my nose was blocked more than usual last night so I used the nasal spray and the headache is better, just more olike a moderate pressure head today, so it could be allergy. I just reminded myself to use it again as it is one of those you are supposed to use every day to be effective. I hate doing that so usually use it only as long as I have to.
the vibrations and tingling are withdrawal, before weaning meds i never had them; these have practilly gone away for me, so i think it could be the same for you

Just to make it well and truly crazy-making, gD, sometimes nothing works and sometimes something works, and it's utterly unpredictable. So, do keep trying the neck and shoulder massage.
Also, I would recommend using the nasal spray only as needed and not every day. They are extremely habit-forming. I have gotten addicted to them and had to withdraw several times over the course of w/d, but I felt I had no better option. My sinus has been one of my worst symptoms, so bad I couldn't sleep.
I haven't had to use a nasal spray for a year or two now. I'm more healed, but I'm also using quercetin, which I recommend for allergies.

This, plus it can damage mucous membranes in the nose. So, going the more natural way, the better. I used a lot of the nasal spray in the past, and had to go higher and higher with the dose for it to have the same effect.Originally Posted by Sheila
Keep walking. Just keep walking.
Oh boy, this thing is so painfully slow again. Hubby says it is not our computer but the clogged network. He reckons it was okay during the Chistmas break because people were not at work and were on holidays.
Anyway, thanks so much Stan and dv for your encouraging post. The vibrations - did you also have them in your head? I have such trouble getting to sleep and try and comfort myself with "one day.... how nice it would be ... for my body and head to be at peace, restful with no vibration, and no ringing in the ears and no RLS ... just to be at peace .... I might scare myself and think I am dead, though! LOL
The vibes are still one of the highest things on my list.
yes, at bed times, they come first from the back of the head, and surely after a stress day
