Thank you all so much for your kind words and advice. I too am so sorry all of you have to suffer with illness. I know it is no fun! But I think having Yorkies helps us a ton!!! That little face can always make us smile no matter what.
I too have tried the ice packs and that makes mine work. I think for me, the heat helps a lot. I finally gave in and turned up the thermostat yesterday after I couldn't take it anymore. I think I'll definitely look into a heated mattress pad/blanket. Of course, KS is like a little hot water bottle when she snuggles up next to me. LOL.
Again, thank you all very much! I will try your ideas! I haven't tried acupuncture, but will definitely look into it. I will try anything.
