I love bio freeze unless its winter time... Oh I am dreading winter My pain always goes into high gear.

I adore my heating pad and rice filled microwave sock for my neck when its cold.

Honestly my pain stays at a level of 7 pretty much all the time, I have learned to handle it... But when it starts to creep up to a 8 or 9 I just come unglued feels like I can hardly breathe and have no way to handle it besides hit the benzios until I'm snowed under enough to crash and sleep, but can't sleep 24/7.

How do you all handle the spikes ?
