Uping Meds

You might need to up your meds. Talk to your doctor.

Is the water heated Tyno???

 

Pillows??? I actually started making my own using the zip up pillow covers and poly fill. I make them so I can tuck a piece under my neck for support. What feels good one night may not feel good the next night. I get up with a terrible headache every morning and I think it is from my neck and now my left shoulder has been hurting in the mornings. It must be time to make new pillows. I tried one of those contoured ones for the neck and couldn't stand that. I think I need to be suspended in space to sleep so no body parts are touching anything.

 

I would try different pillows before I up the meds. But than I will do anything to keep from taking meds.

 

luv and hugs

Funny you should ask. That was my thought the first time I saw it. I actually passed over it due to the idea it might be cold. We Fibromites don't do cold well, and some of us in menopause, don't do heat well, so what do we do well? Anywho, I digress.

I got desperate one day, very stiff sore neck, arm, shoulder and I would have bought an igloo if I thought it would help. The spout where you add water is on the underside of pillow, so fibrefill surrounds it. Therefore, although you can adjust the firmness by varying the amount of water you add, because the water sack is underneath, it is not cold. Were it cold, I would just put a heating pad on low, underneath and that would be that. I haven't had to do that.

Did you read my bit about the 3 ft. really plush, low heat heating pad you lie on. Man is that great. How to solve the delemna, Fibro needs warm, meno needs cold. I lie on my heating pad, on low, bed buddy wrapped around sore shoulder/arm, and leave the window open a bit to breathe cold air. Wow, no wonder I have such close calls getting to B.R. at night, I am like two boa constrictors trying to eat one another. What a sight, cords dangling off me going in all directions. The dogs run under the bed when they see me coming.lol

Hey there Denise and all: Come summer you need a waterbed. And a water pillow. And an air conditioner. Then you'll need a new hubby b/c you'll be getting up 5x's a night adjusting buttons and levers. Isn't this a blast. I'm breathless, I'm having so much fun in Fibroland.

No dear, Marlee, I am not looking for a husband. I seem to still have one lurking about in the brush somewhere. Been there, did that, burned the shirt. Y'know. Right now I am totally focused on getting my youngest a trade. He goes for an interview tomorrow. He was working but quit over an argument with his supervisor. I was so frustrated. So, I'm pushing him to get a back-up trade when he cannot take anymore of his apprenticeship gig. He has some time under his belt and has been asked back to work when they start up in the spring. However, I'm trying to get him fast-tracked through long-haul trucking, just to have a fall back position when things go awry. I totally understand. I have a problem for with authority figures too. When someone tells me to do something stupid, I usually tell them what I think of the idea and that doesn't win me Brownie points. Having a moserately painful day. about a six-seven. I have things to do but everything is so much harder when you hurt all over. I have to get a break soon. This is sooooooooo uncomfortable. Oh yeah, water pillows. We have these special drugstores with Home Health Aid Departments. I found it there, on sale. I remember them being on sale just before Christmas, I saw an older gentleman going with one, he seemed pleased with his choice, probably bought it for his wife.
