Hi Zoe, With hurricane Sandy headed our way I fear we may lose WiFi, so am digging up some books I've been meaning to read tomorrow. Netflix has been my major analgesic through this nightmare. How much niacin did you do? I'm up to speed on L-Lysine, and a friend told me tonight that opening a capsule under the tongue is extra good. Taste isn't bad at all!. I'll keep my 500mg. caps next to the bed, just in case. The sleep thing is great, except that I wake up so disappointed to find that the problem is still there!
