I know that the winter season is upon us but I have been in pain more than I recall especially during these cold weather conditions. I dont know if it is bcoz of the cold or another reason but I feel it has made my condition worse. Anyone else feel that way?

I feel the same way you do about the winter chills; in fact, I'm tagging additional people who might be able to connect to your situation or at least offer their ideas. Thank you for starting this conversation.

I am in the severe range now at 74 yrs old. I have found thru trial and error and getting older with SA, I sleep on my back because I can hardly turn to my side now. I also take 10 mg Melatonin. I didn't know it came in 20 mg! (Thanks ladyslipper 67) What has really help with my back pain, when in bed, is a large memory foam wedge. The large end is under my knees and my legs go down to the small end. It doesn't move when I sleep but then again I am not turning over back and forth. This takes the pressure off my back. I hope this helps someone.
