Here's to hopin you feel better soon, Wiz....nothing stinks like waking up and being in pain for the first few hours of your day - spoils the ENTIRE day.
If you hurt after you've been asleep a while, maybe take a look at your sleeping routine/patterns, etc... how old's your mattress? Your pillows? Do you sleep on your side, your back, your stomach?

Hey there, Whisky - how's it going over here on ECF? I gotta check out this snails thing which you keep referring to...
