What do you do to get comfortable? Do you like to wrap yourself up like this hedgehog or do you prefer something different?
*It's almost impossible for me to get comfortable, especially by using the same technique every time. Whatever worked 2 hours ago may not work again for another month. Despite the techniques not always being effective, I do have a couple things that I can do, sometimes. For example: I have tendency to break out in hives randomly and without warning, but I do have 1 blanket that is ok against my skin, I tend to sweat a lot in my sleep, so I use a special pillow that automatically adjusts to cool me off if I start sweating, I use hydrocortisone almost like lotion on some areas, I have a special body wash that calms my skin, rather than make me break out in hives (it's the only one I can use and know for sure my skin won't freak out), and lastly, I have aromatherapy freezer things for pretty much my whole body (sort of like ice packs, but made from fabric and easier to manipulate)
How are things going this week?
*This week hasn't been particularly bad or good, which is rare and a good thing.
What's going well?
*Nothing is going bad, but also nothing is going particularly well, either.
What are some of your struggles?
*I ran out of my migraine medicine (I get 9 pills per month, and can safely take up to 6 in one day, but it's all my insurance will pay for), and I can't get it until the 17th
@K87 I'm glad it's not a bad week at least! I understand the skin stuff, I don't typically get hives unless I've been in contact with things that I'm allergic to that I can mostly avoid, but I have so many different topical medications for other skin problems and deal with lots of itching.
I hope you're able to manage well without your migraine meds this upcoming week. Insurance can be so unreasonable at times!
