What methods of heat application do you guys favour?

If for example you were to use a hot water bottle during an attack - where do you place it? On your stomach, or on your bottom?

Thanks!

I have a heating pad by the bed for when needed and lie on it. I place it under my bottom. As soon as the heat get up the relief starts.

With one hot water bottle I start with it under my bottom - laying in bed, but usually end up moving it on to my stomach as the pain is often so intense. Sometimes I use two, one under and one on my stomach.

I don't lay in a hot bath - after passing out a couple of times it's too risky for me. Don't forget to drink a mug of hot water as soon as the pain starts.

Thanks guys!!!

Its so strange getting the pain in my stomach too, I don't expect to feel pain in my abdomen as well, but it just radiates. So one heat pad on top and one under is a great idea. I have a heat pack that you warm in the microwave, and it's quite long so I can get it to extend from my bottom to my stomach. Thanks for the reminder Dave I will remember to drink a hot drink too.

Dave I'm so sorry you've had such severe symptoms of this. You passing on your experience and wisdom the way you have on this board is helping a lot of people. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you.
