Mostly I just get in and paddle around though, I'm not hardcore. :) I do sleep through the night now, though, which is great. I could write a book on sleep and RA! After using a <a href="http://www.chilitechnology.com" rel="nofollow">ChiliPad</a> to help with my RA symptoms I decided to work with ChiliTechnology to promote it. The ChiliPad is a mattress pad that cools (or heats) any bed. They come in all sizes, they work using water, and they're small and efficient. I used to take Lyrica because the pain in my hips would keep me up at night, and I wasn't able to do much with my mornings because of the stiffness. After playing around with the temperature I finally found a way to sleep through the night: heating up the bed a bit and then setting the timer to cool it down in the few hours before dawn is what works for me, I both sleep through the night and am able to do more with my mornings.Mandyhttp://www.chilitechnology.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32681913.post-79143642365064517262010-01-17T23:22:35.386-05:002010-01-17T23:22:35.386-05:00How you're feeling better.
