Amazing Pillow

Truthfully I haven’t been writing here for some time because I not only did I have a stomach flu but was suffering from daily headaches and migraines and couldn’t cope with light or even thinking what on earth to write about.  In fact, some days, I have even been struggling with speech!

I know I wrote one day to say I thought I was going to be able to get going again, but it just didn’t happen for me as the migraines and bad heads continued.  I was mostly in a dark room and all the lights in the house had to be adjusted for me to be able to cope.  So it’s been quite a nasty time for me.

Anyway, I knew that my migraines came for two different reasons.  They come when my Treacher Collins plays up (I know that mine has been messing up for some time, but has progressed to a significant level of pain and cramped muscles which pinches areas around the neck, ear and jaw area, thereby producing migraines).  However, I do know that the kind of pillow/s I use can cause more trouble or help the muscles and cramping overnight, which can reduce the migraines.

So I looked up online to see if there were any pillows that were recommended for Treacher Collins and discovered a company called Groove that make pillows for all kinds of conditions (one of which includes Treacher Collins).  And they give you 100 day trial and if the pillow doesn’t work you can send it back.  In my opinion, that was a win/win.

One of the greatest advantages of this pillow is that you can change the height of the pillow and because of the shape of my body, the first night when I used all the layers, it was horribly uncomfortable.  One of the carers helped me remove one complete layer and I have discovered one of the long edges of the pillow is AMAZING and is really helping the muscles relax at night.

Discovering this pillow has been an amazing blessing for me and has really shown me what a massive difference it can make to your life when you get the pillow that suits your condition and gives you the support you need at night time to help you have a better day.  Groove pillows definitely made a difference for me.
