yes, Janice. also have neck arteries squeezed by pillow and others at times. have had an arm over the side of the bed unsupported - cantilevered off elbow. this can strain the muscles holding that stress/strain such that rathjer intense pain is felt when awakened by moving that arm. I believe that the lack of peripheral nerve signalling when the blood flow slows or stops is involved in these instances. sleeping on back with all limbs supported without any hard creases or lumps that squeeze. also need to keep heavy blankets loading from feet. this can cause toes or heels to have painfull awakening. -- Ron Vetter 1936, '84 PD dz [log in to unmask] http://www.ridgecrest.ca.us/~rfvetter
