Vitamin D and Calcium Supplements seem to be helping with my sleep problems and back problems!

Back Pain and Stiffness Gone?

In the last few weeks I came to realize that I no longer had the occasional stiffness in the morning.  The stiffness I had was not a sciatica type pain, but rather just a stiffness without the typical sciatica pain and tingling down one side. See http://www.sciaticabackpainrelief.com/health/?cat=34

Green Beans and Sleep?

Trouble Sleeping! Combating Sleep Deprivation

Lately, I have had a heck of a time sleeping. If I am on my side, I get a sore shoulder. I switch to the other side, and back. And back. Not a very restful night sleep!
