Full Body Memory Pillow Pregnancy Pilliow

Four years ago I was involved in a serious accident at my workplace. This resulted in injury to my neck and lower back. The term used now is Chronic Pain, as it has lasted more than 6 months. However I do have three slipped discs in my neck, and two in my lower spin, both places in-operable, simply put, too dangerous.
Living everyday with pain not only affects your physical abilities but also your emotional capacity to cope even with day to day activities, you have to completely change how you go about your day to day life.
If you were an active person this is the hard part, re-adjusting to life with a disability.

The effort of physical excersion leaves me tired, and the emotional strain leaves me exhausted, the lack of sleep drives me mad, so now they have diagnosed Chronic Fatigue.

Fatigue is a directive from pain, and it is a reaction of your brain telling your body to slow down, even everyday household chores become monsterous tasks. These tasks drain you of your resources, causing more tiredness and amplifying your pain.

Medication also has a part to play in the fatigue, and a person who has feelings of stress, depression, boredom, worry, or unhappiness can be sources of exhausted energy.

So when you go to your bed you are wanting to get a good comfortable nights sleep, or at least be able to rest sufficentl, to be able to wake up nice and refreshed, so you will be able to cope with what life brings the next day.

But due to the pain that you suffer, the tossing and turning can cause a disturbed nights sleep, unable to get comfortable to get to sleep so your brain goes into over drive. But regardless of the cause of Chronic Fatigue it has a major impact on your daily life. Depression is something that creeps up on you, bringing a dullness to your life. So then they decide i meet the Criteria for a Major Depressive Episode.

And so the vicious cycle continues.

When I was offered more medication to help me sleep, it was getting ridiculous. How many tablets I had to take in a day? My problem of waking up in the night, sore and in pain had taken their toll on me. I just wanted a nights sleep, or I would settle for a rest, but you are constantly up, down, in and out of your bed. It is like a form of torture.
So I was soon taking sleeping tablets. I hated them, I was possibly only getting 4 hours sleep (which was better than none) but the side effects were awful, So the Doctor gave me stronger ones, after a while the bosy become used to them and they are not as helpful, I could hardly focus even on starting my day.
I had a full body pillow whilst I was pregnant, the pregnancy came and went and I though nothing more about it. Until someone mentioned the Full body pillow I had used when Pregnant

I already had 3 pillows, one a memory and a
Vshaped pillow, so one more was not going to hurt me, my poor hubby might not be so happy, but he is already disappeared into the bed of pillows.
I sleep on my side so with the injured discs being in my cerviacal spine (right at the base of my skull), this is not the most favourable position for me, as I permanantely have a sore neck, and have to be very careful how I move it, at times using a neck brace, sleeping on my side just aggrevates it, even though I start out on my back surrounded by padding to stop me rolling over, I still end up on my side and wake up in pain.

My mother-in-law had even bought me a beautiful, soft to touch pillowcase in a similar colour to match my bedroom. So I slipped it on and popped it into bed.
Because of the damaged discs at the base of my spine would normallt have a pillow between my thighs, but I end up kicking it out of the bed as it ends up it is more of a nuisance than a help, although the benefit of that support for my pelvis is great.

The pillow was so huggable and soft, like feather down, but held its shape like the memory foam.

I awoke in the morning, and could not believe I was still in the same position with the body pillow I had fallen back asleep in.
More importantly I had slept on my side, okay I had woken in the night, but the big difference was for the first time in a long time I felt rested, not worse.
A phone from my husband confirmed that not only had I slept, but for a long long time my husband had at least had a descent sleep.

Now whenever I lay down for a rest, I always use the pillow. It has enabled me to feel more comfortable, and less anxious about moving suddenly and causing pain.
