Hi, @primghar - not being able to get out of bed is definitely rough. I've had that kind of pain only in a back injury in college from a skiing fall, and emotionally when my mom was going through her second divorce - hard to even get out of bed.

When you talk about retreating, what helps you in that regard (e.g., staying home from some things, perching in a favorite chair, going to bed)? Have you found any medications that work well for you?
