I feel for you. Citing ill...Oh my goodness, Leslie. I feel for you. Citing illness isn't "a card;" it's the God's honest truth! My golden rule: Never mess around with sleep! A bad mattress can cause a cascading flare lasting months for me. I've actually been struggling to get my circadian rhythm (& health) back since major pain spikes from extreme stress & this winter weather started...If a bad mattress were in the mix, I'd be truly desperate, as hard as things are right now. It's also frustrating to work so hard (every day, all day) to stay "within perimeters" for basic health, and then to have something disrupting, totally unforeseen, & outside of my control happen. God's honest truth. Most people, however, just can't begin to relate & don't understand that you really do need "X" to be able to function like everyone else. That's not their fault of course; but it can be hard. <br />At this breakage rate, however, why not return the darn IKEA bed & get something simple & made of unbreakable, shippable metal? Haha. That leads me to my second (new) golden rule: If something is threatening my health & livelihood, know when to walk away & know when to run... Still working on that though; it's tough to suss out. Yet would be nice to know! ;)SkPethannoreply@blogger.com
