When you need your meds do take them. It's frustrating when pain takes control even when one is trying to rest. I totally understand your pain. Myself I don't take any meds apart from herbal (my choice) it has taken almost three months for these herbal to get into my system. I just asked my husband last night to touch my back last night and the pains that were quite severe for months with the slightlest touch was actually reduced. I am so shocked. I am not getting too excited at the moment, just in case it flares up again. I will share with all if this improves over the coming weeks.
I do hope you have a better day today. Stay positive and calm x

when I go to bed I am freezing cold I snuggle up to my partner ( he is always warm to touch) I call him my human hot water bottle "lol" when I have been in a lot of pain his warm hand on my tender sore spot does help ease the pain?... I believe it's the instant heat I feel and love of course :-) also when I have a not so good night I overheat terribly ( I am going through the menopause and on hrt) I get some relief from first taking paracetamol to take my temperature down and drinking a few glasses of water I get really dehydrated and then laying on my cold leather sofa cools me down I read a book or do crosswords I'm also addicted to playing candy crush on my iPad "lol" and then I fall asleep.
hope you have many good days :-)

I know all about watching the clock most of the night in pain, then your mind plays tricks because your over tiered, I sometimes wonder if I'm going mad,
But I know take medication after a huge debate about putting toxic into my body but believe me after a while it's the best thing Iv done,
Don't get me wrong I still have horrendous flare ups but my meds take the hedge off and I manage to sleep 5/6 hours some nights,
Your sweating sounds like anxiety, which is quite common in prolonged pain, also depression, does your heart beat faster ? This can make you feel faint, if left untreated it can become worse and it does not help with your sleep patten,
Have a chat with your GP or rhumatology nurse who could advise you on this,
I have never had symptoms like that but work in community that's why I mentioned it,
But it might be something
I wish you luck, thoughts are with you leona
