thanks for the message, sometimes I feel like the only person on earth that knows what this is like as I don't know anyone else that has it and to try and explain is almost impossible. I recommend that you try and stick threw the master cleanse, that was the time that showed me that it was possible to actually sleep a full night and have two weeks without much pain. Since starting this fast I haven't had much pain at all and am hoping to make it go dorment again for good.I don't know if that is possible but the thought of it makes it easy to keep going on this fast.Thanks for your support and I wish you only the best on your master cleanse it is the perfect way to start.
