You are not moaning at all, SPD can be so debilitating. I found crutches really helped, partially because they meant I could move at a semi-reasonable speed, but also because they were an obvious sign of my disability so strangers became less frustrated with my lack of speed. A pelvic belt was also really helpful in easing the pain. I also used a wheelchair from time to time (ikea, for example, where they are available for hire) and that meant I could keep up with my family when shopping.
Night-time was agony for me. I have since been told of the tip to use an old pair of tights and tie a pillow between your knees so stop them moving in the night. If I had known that I would have tried it but other than that I have no good tips for sleep.
Since having my babies my pelvis has been much better, but I am seeing a chiropractor who specialises in pregnancy and he makes a huge difference to me.
