Thanks John, I am going to try just that... two paracetamol 500mg ... 1 hr before bed
My consultant says paracetamol can be under rated as a pain med as they are so cheap/available...which I find they do help..... I'll post any results... re the sore tender spots... they are under pressure when sitting upright which is what is so strange... I did wonder if increased kidney drainage is to blame..? some mornings the cold claminess is really bad but goes quite quick when sat up All the best Regards, Mark Age 45 C3/4 Complete since 1986 http://www.markbb.co.uk On 16 Aug 2010, at 20:07, John S. wrote: > chilling can be AD.
