thank u for responding with compassion and helpful hints, i am better, but only able to take in about 30oz of fluid in day. i am trying to increase it. my spirit is better, because the pain is better. do you have trouble lying down at night, the band causes me discomfort. its an awful pressure. no postion seems to relieve it. i sleep with 4 pillow. i pray this gets better. lack of sleep is no good.
