Re: Reclining Chairs: I thought I was the only one!

[Guest guest]

Hi, .

Yes, I also sleep in a recliner and have done so almost exclusively for over

eight years. Oddly enough, when things get REALLY bad some nights I get a

craving to sleep on my stomach with about 3 pillows under my middle, so I crawl

into bed for that, but when the pain abates a bit I always want to go back to my

recliner for the rest of the night. I have a four-level lumbar fusion and the

rest of my spine isn't so hot, and I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, so back and

other joint pain is a way of life, but it's under adequate control now and I am

more or less at peace with it.

I know for some people sleeping in a chair would be about the worst thing you

could do, but for some of us it works better than anything else. I dread when my

recliner finally gives out (as it is now threatening to do!!)
