I hope you can get a good heating pad. My back is all messed up, 10+ discs blown, and besides meds my heating pad is a massive help. I’ve found the adjustable ones with timers are a big help.

I hope you feel better, I do you have some noise cancelling headphones since you can’t do anything about the rude neighbors?

Thank you for the advice! I’m so sorry that you have so much trouble with your back, that must be awful. I would definitely use a heating pad if I wasn’t already insufferably hot, lol. If the pain sticks around long-term I will be sure to try it. Main issue at the moment is sciatica.

Yes thankfully I have some Loop earbuds for sleeping, they have been invaluable. I tend to pull them out in a half-asleep state though! I’m sure I will get used to them :)

Oh yeah, I’m blast my ac when I use it but I’m stateside. I hope you feel better soon!

If it’s legal where you are I’ve had some luck with cannabis for help with sleeping especially.

It’s not legal in the UK unless you can get it on very limited medical grounds.

Yeah, that how I have mine but mostly you don’t want to be in a position to need it imo. Teen me would laugh at me getting tired of being loopy at times. Also the munchies can be a right bitch.
