I HAVE TROUBLE SLEEPING IN A BED, I USUALLY SLEEP IN MY RECLINER, WHICH I DON'T GET GOOD REST IN, BUT IF I LAY DOWN IN A BED I HAVE MUSCLE SPASMS SO BAD, ANYWAY I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE IS SOME MAGIC MATTRESS OR SOMETHING THAT ALL OF YOU ARE SLEEPING ON, ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I DON'T WANT TO SPEND A FORTUNE ON THINGS THAT WON'T HELP ME, SO HELP.....

I got one of the "blow up" kind with controls to each side, of course I didn't fall for their whole package deal as it would have been about 2,000 for just a double bed. I use my bottom mattress from my old bed with it, and it keeps the OUCHES from hurting my hips and so forth.

Course, if I lay in it for more than 6 hours, I still wake up with a backache but I do believe that's from the osteo, not the fibro. Who knows? I like it anyway.

I believe in the magnets too. When my wrists go to hurting real bad, it is the only thing that releaves the pain. maybe you could get one for your ankles. You can make them yourself. they have them at the bead store.
Have you tried elivating your feet and legs with a pillow in bed? Take care.~dixie

I have the Select Comfort Sleep Number bed. I also have the adjustable foundation, so it works like a hospital bed, you can position it upright, recline, etc. It is the most expensive thing I've ever owned, outside of my house or a car, but it was worth every penny. I don't know how I would suvive without it, had tried everything, it is the only thing that gives me any relief. Also, I use an electric blanket, set on a low number so it keeps me warm but not overheated. Heat is my very best friend, next to my bed!
