Hi @wolfbauer. Hahaha! You bet! Your name can go first on the research paper! It DOES make sense! In fact, I am going to adjust the timing of my NSAIDS today, just to see if there is a difference on the timing and severity of when I go into the horror sauna state. Do you watch The Big Bang Theory? Your remark about your name going first, reminds me of what Sheldon says about winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

I don't remember it, but my parents watch it all the time so I'm sure I have... I'll have to keep an eye out. I went 3 days without sleep this week and finally crashed yesterday (Sunday morning) and just spent all day in bed (the one good thing about being dehydrated and taking salt tablets to retain water is that I don't have to get up to pee as frequently and can just be lazy in bed). I didn't take the ibuprofen, though, and what ended up getting me moving around was the sweats/chills. I've taken two 600mg doses of ibuprofen since. It took some time, but so far (fingers crossed) it's seem to normalize a bit (could also be placebo effect, although, as you know, the sweats/chills are miserable and I highly doubt I'm just 'tolerating' them better [or maybe my mind just wants so badly to have found a treatment it's tricking me lol). I think I forgot to mention in my other reply about costochondritis, I haven't found an effective treatment yet. I've tried lidocaine cream and patches over one area, but it didn't seem to have any effect. I'll keep researching it and see what I can find.
