I think I am developing additional autoimmune issues and it's not fun

5. Oh hon. I know the despair

I've barely been out of bed for two days. I just try to knock myself out and sleep for the most part. My hubby and I always said we were the flip sides of the same coin. True to form his body is holding up better than mine, but he's losing it dementia wise. Together we almost make up one whole person. One of the services I wish was still available was the Meals on Wheels. I could sure use it now.

The blanket I got from Amazon is called the inHand Cooling Blanket. The price was 39.99. Sold by KK Home Fashion, fulfilled by Amazon.

I had a really bad night last night, too. A lot of pain, a lot of willing myself to wait for morning for a pain pill. It would have been one of those nights I'd have woke up drenched looking for a towel to lay across the bottom sheet. Amazingly tho I slept fitfully... like crap... not once did I wake up sweating. I don't know how this thing works or if it'll do the trick for everyone but it's proven itself by me.

I suggest this blanket only because it worked for me. With comments and advise being questionable anymore, I value words coming from someone I know Strange coming from one on a forum. But I consider us all friends here... and lord knows we look out for each other!

One thing I have to get use to with this blanket it has no heft. I'm one who feels safe with something heavy over me. This blankets not that, but it keeps me from sweating which I like. The cats like it too, so they've become my safety blankets

Hang in there. And if u ever need to reach out in frustration feel free to message me. Growing old is hard enough without the additional crisis of chronic disease and pain so many of us are bearing!
