G'day Barb and everyone, Over the last nearly 8 years, I've been like you. I've purchased more pairs of shoes than a mother of growing centipedes could possibly need, more clothes that just hurt too much (yep, certainly jeans).
I've found with the sheets that as long as they are warm, as long as they have no wrinkles and as long as I don't move, I don't have too much pain or too many spasms :)). Another thing is that sleeping on my own is an absolute essential now for me. A strange little thing I've found lately that helps is having a pillow over my feet. I have no idea why. Of course Barb, I reckon the brownies help a lot with the sleeping. I've found that I have to have mule type shoes, socks worn inside out, no dresses, no stockings, no jeans. T-shirt material or jersey is the easiest to wear. Wouldn't you just like Trinny and Susannah try and make us look like a million dollars with our restrictions? gentle hugs to all Gilly ----- Original Message ----- From: balmat...@aol.com To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2009 2:53 PM Subject: [TMIC] leg and foot comfort in bed I think that this is something that most of us suffer from at some point during our TM lives, skin sensitivity against fabric, and it's the worst when we are trying to get some much needed sleep. 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.
