Thanks for the info I will definately check into the Ambian cause that is when I have my worst pain is at nite when I am trying to sleep.

My next doc appt is Sept 9th, if they cant help me get RID of the adhesions, I at least want something that is going to help me cope, and make it so I can at least get out of bed everyday.
