Thanks for all your replies. No doubt about it.. pain is a killer.. and people just don't understand. My husband often says things like were you just too lazy to go in there and turn it off... yes I guess I was... hurting too much to turn round and walk back and turn it off.. instead of taking the t...

Strange feeling as if you are falling off something...

Does anyone else have this strange feeling.. just as I am drifting off to sleep I literally jerk up in the bed.. as if I am pulling myself back from falling over the edge of something. It is a very violent jerk.. and my heart is pounding from fright. This has happened maybe once or twice a month all...

I am quite clear that "exercise" is crucial to getting a good night's rest. If I am busy all day and then spend the evening relaxing.. I will be twitchy before bedtime.. and hopelessly demented for hours during the night. However, as I suffer with arthritis in my knees and back... if I have had a bu...

Once I went to the local Sainsbury's and did a little shopping. It is only about five mins from where he has his session. But it turned out to be a disaster as he...

Does anyone have any ideas for situations where you have to sit still for a long period.. eg I have to wait for two hours in the car for my son once a week... I often end up having to get out and walk up and down the road by the car.. which is not ideal as it isn't a specially salubrious area and I ...

Yes I have tried many of these ideas. One night I slept from 2am until 7am in my( very large and deep) bath.. my head was resting on a folded towel so I didn't slide down and drown ( I reckon I would wake if that happened anyway).. and I kept the bath hot by running the hot water constantly at a ver...
