@rwinney, Oh, Rachel! The thought of you, and progress, makes me so delighted. No one works harder than you to fight this damn illness. You just keep it up. Keep it up, keep it up. I am best when walking, so I walk. Sitting is a bitch. At least I will keep my legs strong walking. My best to you, and you are something else!!!!! Love, Lori Renee

Pain seems to be lower for me when I'm moving around, too. It's a strange thing. One would think that walking would make it worse. There's a limit to how far I can walk, though. There comes a time when my feet start complaining, especially if I'm walking on hard surfaces.
Do you raise your feet above your head and heart? I lie with my feet on a pillow sometimes, but that can make them hurt more. My therapist suggested elevating my feet, if possible like a tilt table. It's kind of hard to do it in bed with a blanket lifter. I'm glad you've found a few helpful coping ideas.
