We all rest. I am almost professional at it. I awake some times feeling well rested, other times I am immediately ready to go back to sleep again.
Weed. You will feel better and get sleep.
Have never had them...but Dr wants to start treatment.
Like so many here, I have to agree. I avoid them sticking any needles into my neck, back or anything related as I have never had a good experience with them.. I have a very high threshold to standing… read more

Acupuncture. I have found like Physicians not all are created equal. Shop around and get a session or two and you should know. If they pressure for more they are not for you. Good luck.
