MaJoC, I have tried literally every sleeping position that doesn't cause a rush of blood to the head. Propped up in a La-Z-Boy recliner works best during the acute phase, but that’s not saying much; I wake up with a stiff neck after about three hours, and then experience a big, fat coughing fit. Foetal position on my right side on my memory foam mattress is best for the long haul, especially with the memory foam pillow that now seems essential to my existence.

Once upon a time, I could sleep soundly in the front seat of an army truck with a radio earpiece strapped to my head. My husband used to say I could sleep on a bed of nails. Alas, those days are gone.

Cerberus didn’t try to argue with the rasp currently passing for my voice. I’m in with the doc at 1500 hr today.
