I have chronic tension and pain with this. I find if I use heat on my back or neck, shoulders it aggravates my condition and makes me feel worse. How many bottles would I need to use in a twin size bed; how and where do I place them in the bed? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I only used one hot water bottle. You can move it around to warm more of the surface, but you don't really need the entire bed pre-heated. I generally used it against my back, neck, or head to raise my core body temperature as efficiently as possible. If that doesn't work well for you, you might try putting it against your stomach instead. I never tried the type heated in the microwave but I don't see why you shouldn't try it and see if that works for you. Good luck with this.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I got a couple of hot pads. They help a bit, but not enough. I still feel chilled, especially the extremities like my arms. I might have to try an electric blanket. People say they are not good because of the magnitism created, but I don't know what else to do. If I use a space heater or something like that. I think they will use a lot of electricity, and that will be a problem with my landlord. Also I don't know if it warm all the body or just part.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Your remarks about heat making some of your pain worse makes me wonder if you have an infection that thrives in the heat and your body stays cold to try to keep it at bay. You might find that treating for infection helps your issues with feeling cold all the time. It helped mine a great deal. Also, instead of putting an electric blanket in your bed, you could try getting a blanket or towel warmer and prewarm some of your bedding so that it is warm when you go to bed but then the electromagnetic field is left out of the equation. Good luck with this, whatever you decide to do. Michele http://www.healthgazelle.com http://www.kidslikemine.com http://www.solanorail.com > > I got a couple of hot pads.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/coq10-with-tryptophan-2273-12874-2568-0.h\ tml There are no known interactions between CoQ10 and tryptophan Here is a list of drugs known to interact with tryptophan: http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/tryptophan-index.html?filter=3 & generic_on\ ly= As best I can tell, Tryptan is l-tryptophan. I am unable to find anything which indicates there is a meaningful difference between tryptophan and l-tryptophan. If there is, you will need to research that. I can't find a listing for drug interactions between co-q-10 and l-tryptophan. A search for that gives me the link at the top of my email showing interactions for co-q-10 and tryptophan. I hope that helps. Michele http://www.healthgazelle.com http://www.kidslikemine.com http://www.solanorail.com > > Is there a problem taking CoQ10 with Tryptan.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I have heard that CoQ10 can keep some people awake. I always take it in the am....

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Yes, it needs to be taken in the morning, or about 12 to 14 hours before you plan on going to sleep. It is basically the brain chemical responsible for waking you up. Thank you!
