    I like mine jello shot style. (2-4 every night, chronic pain management and healthcare sucks in America.)

        Yup, but the alternative is drinking myself to death or getting hooked on fentanyl/heroin.

        I try to work hard enough every day that 2-4 ibuprofen put me to sleep for 6 hours.

      Do a sleep study, also, get long action type. When I was injured, I could feel the spikes and they didn’t last long

        My insurance is so shitty right now I’m not paying for a sleep study. I know why I sleep shitty. It’s cause I have a big old herina that fucking hurts and kinks my body up due to compensation. Wish I could take Aleve, but it gives me heartburn for days.

        Also, can’t take most long acting meds since I don’t have a colon.

          That’s rough, for me a CPAP machine allows me to sleep on my back rather than on my side. Which helps my back greatly.
