I've been having increasing trouble trying to find sleeping positions that don't exacerbate my TOS. Do any of you, especially those with bilateral TOS, have any suggestions? Thanks.

i had to learn to sleep on my back so my arms wouldnt completely swell up in the night

also no pillow, just a towel around my neck it sucks so much

I think some even sleep in a soft comfy recliner during the really bad flares.

During my bad times I had to pad & wrap my elbows and sleep on my back.

I have bilateral TOS and sleep like so:

# Flat on my back (I will occassionally turn during sleep)
# Using a pillow with neck support like a Tempur Memoryfoam or similar
# Wearing soft fleece wraps secured by duct tape as partial elbow braces to prevent me from bending my elbows

If what I mean by fleece wraps isn't clear I can provide a picture.
