Well those who know me from Braintalk 1 will doubtless be bracing themselves to read my inane and useless utterences.....but here goes.At present I only have the walls to talk to ...both dogs are snoring contentedly in the corner of the kitchen...my son is fast asleep and cosy in his bed,my daughter has fled to her friends house and my husband is on his way to the middle of the North Sea.So having read the thread on PAIN...I was wondering...just WONDERING....WAIT FOR IT....
HAS ANYONE TRIED A WATERBED? NO....really..I`m not kidding.I am in hellish pain at night but recently went to a spa and there were four waterbeds to flop about on...all different in density. Well I had a whale [whoops sorry] of a time flitting and floating about on these beds.I have never in my life felt so comfortable...so supported....so at ease when lying down.
So....I did a search on the web when I got home and they aren`t as much as you think to buy.Neither do you have to reinforce your floors with steel girders and the like,contrary to popular belief.And no...you don`t get seasick either.The softest one sort of undulates really gently and within minutes I was snoring away...sailing the calm ocean to foreign lands.Oh I wish.
These beds are divine...just the job and I reckon that everyone with pd should be given one on diagnosis.

Having said all that..I have yet to get one myself..But not one to be beat I sort of thought about it and reckoned that if I pilfered everybody`s duvet and stacked them up I could sort of make my own soft DRY WATER BED.So I did just that....went on a midnight rampage and stealthily stole my family`s duvets whilst they were sleeping....snuck them back to my room with a wicked glint in my eye...piled them up on my bed...climbed on and POOF!!! sank into a cloud of duck down. Total bliss. Until 3.30 am when the victims yanked my cloud from under me and brought me back to earth with a crash.
Ah well...for a short while I was in LA LA land re-enacting The Princess and the Pea.[well that was MY excuse]

OK....will sign off now.You have heard enough waffle and wish to return to the more cerebral amongst you...lol

Still...has anyone out there got a waterbed...hmmmmmm

Love
Steffi
