I think it has to do with circulation and vasodilatation. That’s what I was told. I think as you lie down, it affects these…like when you sprain something they have you elevate it or whatever…the position changes the amount of or the rate of blood circulating. I think that might be the reason but it could just be that moving around helps take your mind off the pain a little bit. How are the peaches growing? Mine are coming on quite nicely.
