Hi there Bill join the club. Insomnia = sit up all night chatting on aol If you find a cure Bill let me know. As for food, protein tends to make my meds less effective. I am so sorry about your back pain it can make life miserable. I wonder if it has anything to do with posture. You could try swimming, I find it helps ease all sorts of pain.
