Re: A question about beds/Deborah Y

[Guest guest]

My sweetie has a c-pap and since he has accidently tossed his arm across my neck

in his sleep...* hmmmmm* maybe there is a subconsious thing going on. But we

now sleep in different beds. We play in the same one of course mine and he

loves it. I think the topper cost me apx. $80 including shipping and I used my

birthday money. I love it. Only bad thing I did was get a King sized topper

and my bed is a queen, it slipps a little at night. If I am in real pain I can

fold it in half and just make sure I nestle in the middle of the bed for a comfy

sleep. It has been worth it now 2 years.....I would love to get the new down

pillows and comforter but all night long on and off blankets, I also sleep with

a fan on every evening. And sometimes a heater at the same time.

I do need air moving or I feel like I am going to sufficate. I now have only

micro fleece blankets and that is eaiser. My feet and legs used to feel chapped

in the morning. My RLS has stopped mostly becasue my doctor has started me on

Flexeril evenings with my elivil. Infact the first several weeks I slept so

still when I awoke in the morning my ribcage hurt.

Deborah,

Because I figured it might be awhile before I could convince DH

I " needed " one of those beds, I went to overstock (they are having a

free shipping weekend...lol) and got a 3 " " cool " topper (because he

sweats horribly). I am hopeful that it will help my cause in the long

run......

Our finances took a hit too when I went from full-time work to

disability; thankfully, we had started working the Dave Ramsey plan

(total money makeover) and despite the fact that I now bring in about

1/2 of what I used to, plus DH got fired from his old job and is in a

new one but at their starting salary which is less, we have managed

to pay off a tremendous amount of debt. We still have a ways to go,

but I am encouraged, you know? Because I don't think, and neither do

my providers, chiropractor or reflexologist, that I will EVER be able

to go back to a " traditional " 40 hour a week job. I get up in the

morning " drag-assing " just to take the kids to school (we got them

transferred to a better school so we have to transport them) and

sometimes, I come home and nap for a few hours. Then I worry about

what has to be done in the house. Right now, DH is redoing our

flooring for mine and our daughter's allergies (hers are severe; mine

are pretty bad). So my housework has dwindled....lol...

good quality and just needs a good puff now and again. I will never

be able to affort one of those temperpedic beds I am pretty sure. I

am afraid I have dragged my family down into a deep well with my

sickness.

My ex had a very bad habit of hitting out in his sleep and when I

first began having the pains that I now know were the beginning of

this 30 year battle with fibro, I thought for awhile that he had hit

me in the chest one night and that was why I woke up sleeping on my

stomach with my hands in fists pressing on the area. But since the

pains went on for so long that first time and then didn't reoccur

until the same time the next spring, I knew it wasn't from him

thrashing around in bed while asleep! Could have been a good excuse

for physcial abuse when I did file for divorce but by that time, I

never knew when it would happen.

However, I can no longer sleep in same bed with present husband for

several reason, although, we have managed to do so in king size beds

while travelling over the past 7 months. Which is what we may get

when we move this summer. That way we might sell or give away the

queen size sleep number bed, keep the double and try a king ---

that's a new thought! And especially because one of the problems is,

if he goes to bed before I do, or even at the same time, he can't

stand my reading in bed. This last trip, though, I found a much

smaller reading light that is on a twisty wire that I can angle so it

doesn't shine as much as others I have tried. And the only way I can

go to sleep is by reading! If I turn a light out, I am tossing and

turning for longer than I would otherwise! Mind races when it isn't

ocuppied -- habit since childhood.

Hi Deborah,

I thought I was the only person who slept with a fan on even in the winter. I

also have an air purifier going. I have to have air moving in the room or I

can't sleep.

I take flexeril in the evenings also; it helps with the muscle cramps that are

bad when I get up because I move so much in the bed.

Take Care,

Marti

My daily drug cocktail included. First in AM Valium for dependency issue (

check out Toxic Psychology if your are curious ) then thyroid meds, 300mg

tegratol for Trigeminal Neuralgia. Darvacette when I need it. Evening consists

of flexerial * yeah * elivil and depending on my pain darvacette. Oh I forgot

my other 300 mgs of Tegratol. I was on pill form Demeral a year ago now choose

to deal with a level of pain that keeps me alert.
