Hi all,

Just been lurking since joining. Been down with the flu, very ill, as

I have underlying medical conditions that make me very high risk for

complications. Shall I say I hurt all over?!

But today I got my memory foam mattress topper and gotta say it

helped the pain alot. I even hauled that sucker in alone and managed

to put it up on top of my very high king mattress, even with the

weight of the thing. I didn't sleep at all last night, but promptly

put a sheet over it and went to bed. Fell right asleep! This thing

kicks! Now I'm seriously thinking that my headache that never leaves

might just be helped if I switch pillows, maybe to a memory foam one

also. I blame the headache on the statin I take for high cholesterol,

but my doc says it's not really a side effect. I think I've read it

is though.

I've not been posting, mostly reading. Usually am pretty 'up' person

and hate to drag people down with all my health complaints. Guess

that's why I shy away from posting here. Mostly looking at how the

docs are treating the fibro these days (I was diagnosed 7 years ago

with it). ly, my other medical conditions are a much bigger

worry than my fibro, but I soooooo understand the pain part. I was

especially interested in tips on sleeping, as broken sleep due to

pain as well as my sleep apnea is wreaking havoc. I know if I can get

some decent sleep all will be much better.

Sorry for the ramble. Hope all are feeling comfortable today, as much

as is possible.
