Thanks all. I do aromatherapy and have a back massager that helps immensely. Yes, nice warm showers are the best, unfortunately I don't have a tub.

These are all great suggestions. Thanks!

I recently got a nice squeeze ball, a happy face with kooshball hair!! I love it. I'm looking at investing in other hand toys so i have something healthy to do during rough periods.

I think its essential to find a thing(s) that relaxes you. If only I could go to the spa every other day.....
