    Sleeping tilted is tricky. I’m a side sleeper, and really fussy about anything touching face or feet. Most obvious thing would be become thin again, but I can’t do that on a single Tuesday with a credit card

      Yeah, same. Maybe the crappy foam wedge that your shoulder can sink into with a pillow on top for your head.

      Uhh… yeah drs love to recommend weight loss for everything and maybe some people it might help?

      But I am thin so it’s not the magic bullet they think it is (and treating it as such often misses underlying conditions)

      Love it when Drs say to lose weight 🙄 I lost weight and it didn’t help any physical ailment I have tbh. Went from ~85kg to currently ~62kg and my periods still suck ass, I still snore and grind my teeth like it’s a biological pestle and mortar, and I wouldn’t even say I’m healthier now than I was when I was heavier.

      I hate anything touching my face and feet also, so I get ya. A mouth guard makes me feel like I’m suffocating, and I sleep in the fetal position so I always have shoulder pain. Id try some of the suggestions Melb gave like different positions and propping up, and if that doesn’t work perhaps a Dr visit that doesn’t involve a CPAP/mouth guard. Not sure if relaxants would help or make it worse.

      Is it affecting the quality of your sleep?

        It’s affecting Boyo’s sleep. I have to presume mine also if it’s that bad. But this horrid jelly thing isn’t the answer. Let’s see what this 30 day return policy actually is…
