Years ago, my dermatologist at that time prescribed satin sheets..............the reason was that the fabric of other sheets caused friction on my skin....I've used them since 1984 and they make sleep possible today with tm......I don't mean the knit kind either. The first set cost me $144.00 which I couldn't afford, but they allowed me to sleep so I couldn't afford not to get them!! I've since then purched them from Sears or JC Penney, at MUCH more reasonable prices!! I take them whenever we travel, and the first thing I do when I arrive wherever, is to put them on the bed I'll be sleeping on! My 2¢ worth, janh

I have purchased so many sets of sheets and blankets over my TM years (T 8-10, 6/1/99), and I have had this sensitivity for most of that time. It started as sensitivity and is so often PAIN. I've gone from egyptian cotton, very good quality flannel, jersey (like T-shirt material) and all sorts of thread counts of cotton. In sheets, I think that most of the time, my most comfortable sheet happens to be the jersey. I'm not saying that I can always have my legs against them, because I cannot, I lay on my back many nights with my knees bent so nothing touches my legs. Blankets are much worse, so you need to get the most comfortable sheet you can near your skin. If you have any "old" pajama bottoms, those are also some of the most comfortable, or I wear the short ones. I've bought some microfiber plush pants this year from OldNavy.com and they have been warm on my legs and haven't irritated them. I am very much looking forward to warmer weather when I can wear short pants all the time and not being uncomfortable.
