We have been home a week now and it was a bit better with only the 2 regular headaches. Other days I had a funny sort of head, like a headache coming on, a pain, just weird, not right, hard to explain. I got another neck ache and figured it was the pillow.
Where is yo muscle tightness Shelia? I don't want to go to a chiro. However, the dayyou wrote that ppost, I considered phisio! It is too expensive so I got hubby to massage and used voltaren and after a couple of days it came good.
We did go and buy 2 new pillows - both hopeless - huge, way too big and won't even fit in the pillowcases! They won't take them back due to hygiene, so I didn't want to buy any more. Anyway, in the night I had this great idea to cut them open and take half the filling out, so now we have 4 new pillows! I still couldn't sleep and resorted to the old pillow. I like it, it is a bit too high and bit too firm, though. I got ALL the pillows out from around the hous and tried them all and they were too low, too soft, too high, too hard - I even had several my dad had given us - I suspect now he went through the same problem I'm having! Hubby reckons I am the princess who slept on 10 mattresses and could feel a pea under one of them! Funny, but true, I am so sensitive to different beds, etc.
I am now wondering if it is the fact of my nervous system being so sensitive, so I will try one more night with 3 of the pillows that are "so-so".
I did do my exercises in the van (just a few I couldn't do as I use a ball for them) but most of them and also did my stretching. I intend to go back to our last trip away and see how I was back then and if I had all those headaches.
I also did my brething exercises while away and contine to do them at least twice a day and more if necssary.
