Morning Stiffness

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Columbia, SC

My morning stiffness is the most severe part of my fibro, on a daily basis, to the point where I avoid going to bed and try to stay up all night and taking naps on the couch throughout the night. Does anyone find that having a certain mattress helps relieve or reduce their morning stiffness?

I find that when I sleep in my chair or bed at an angle it helps with then pain. My chair is a recliner and its super poofy lol I sleep in my bed with enough pillows to set me up a little. That helps, and I take Gabapentin.

No, I've tried memory foam which made things worse. I'm now on a sprung mattress with two toppers and I use a V pillow to stop my legs from touching each other and as comfortable as bed is I wake up so stiff that getting out of it takes some time each day.
