I need to sleep properly at night

Blood pressure was checked at hospital back in November and was low to start with and then came up to a within normal level in the afternoon.

Bambammy -

I have checked the chart and don't eat or drink anything on that list.

I admit I could do with opening the windows a bit more during the day. I don't smoke.

Why do I need to record myself ? I know what I'm doing as my OH tells me.

I know I need to change my doctor but finding a good doctor who understands HMS is blooming difficult.

You haven't read this whole thread as I have already stated that I have bought a gum shield (although I havent used it yet) and that I am a Bruxist (yes I grind my teeth at night). Do you have the correct knowledge of the subject of teeth, dentistry and especially my teeth to suggest that I "will" need possible particail plates pending an asymmetrical jaw ?

Good tip about the library, thank you.

Do you have ANY idea about HMS and its full range of symptoms, problems, extended conditions and how it can affect people in different ways ? OK, so I'm not going to the gym and pumping weights but believe me when I shout "I AM EXERCISING" and doing it in a way that is good for my body. Exercise is anything that gets your heart beat up and the blood pumping round the body. Trust me, my work is hard and awkward for me but I still do it, all of the jobs that need doing, despite being in a lot of pain all the time and my joints subluxing.

Did you read my post about memory foam mattresses?

Due to the fact that they support your body evenly without pressure points, they allow your blood to circulate freely.

Hiya Tim, yes I did, sorry for not replying as such, I'd love to get one but it's all about money so I'm saving up albeit slowly.

I must admit suki, my pillows are awful. We did buy some new ones but they are far too flimsy and thin. I'd love one of those ones that support your head and neck (cant think of name at moment). We're on the lookout for a new bed and mattress as well but have to wait a bit and save up.

Thanks Savvy_Sue - I'll have a look for it

Get your self a Tempur Deluxe pillow, you will love it.

We got a new bed recently, the Kildare at Dreams, it was expensive £1,500, but we love it:beer:

Hi again Mrs E :santa2:

As I said previously in another post, you can get just as good for much less than £1500.

Also the Kildare might not be suitable for someone who has trouble sleeping. Many people have trouble sleeping if they are too hot in bed, and the Kildare is reflex foam with memory foam which is the hottest option.

You can always get a memory foam topper. From what I understand its only a few inches thickness that you need to make all the difference??

Hi Tim:D

I can only speak as I found mine & we love it.

BUT I will admit I do like to be warm;)

If you already have a mattress in good condition, and you want to try out memory foam, then a topper is ok. However manufacturers spend a lot of time and money on developing mattresses, and making sure that all the components work well together. Using a topper is like buying an add on accessory that wasn't designed for the original mattress, and you will be using it on top of the mattresses existing quilting (which won't allow the memory foam or the mattress to work properly).

Also the fact that there is a deep layer of quilting under the topper will prevent the air circulating under the memory foam and dissipating the heat.

I have spoken to many people who first of all tried a topper, and now have a mattress with the memory foam built in. All of them say that it is far better with it built in.

Well if you do like to be warm it's a good thing.
