Seriously, I am SO tired of spending every penny on doctor's, medicine, and now PILLOWS, of all things! Haha-I try to laugh, but SERIOUSLY!

My neck is always killing me and I keep thinking that if I could just find "the right" pillow...

Anyone have any advice? I would REALLY like to stay under a $100 dollars this time.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Have you tried a bath towel rolled up and placed behind your neck? Another thing that helps me is placing a hot water bottle (not quite full but no air in it so its a bit squishy) placed behind your neck. they are not perfect but cheap to try.

Thanks!

Hey DoxieLOVA

Neck pain, instead of the pillows, try sleeping with no pillows, except for one under your knees, this will help your posture and just put a rolled towel for your neck or the water bottle works also.

If your neck is bothersome, have you tried to see a chiropractor? I go see mine and has fixed most of my pain in my neck, shoulders and back. Very rarely do I have pain in my back now. I usually only get pain allover when I'm in a flare.

It could also be your bed, or your bed partner?

Hey Axxie!

Thanks for your reply on this! I think I will try just sleeping with a rolled up towel. I have been sleeping with a pillow under my legs already so who knows...sleep is a mysterious thing!

Also, I had been going to a chiro for about a year it helped slightly but unfortunately I can no longer afford to continue. Being broke seems to be a "symptom" of fibro.

LOL-what can ya do?!

Thanks for your advice :)
