Is anyone bowel incontinent? I have started leaking out poo and I don't know it's there until I go to the loo and I, well, smell it!

Does anyone else have trouble controlling your body temperature? Sometimes I am freezing, other times burning up.
If I sit or lay down for too long, my fingers and toes get very cold and soon, I feel like I am freezing to death. When I get up and move around, I feel okay after a little while. But, if I move around a lot, I over heat, and it takes forever to cool off and i feel very weak.

Also better pillows that are soft and I sleep slightly elevated

Exercise: Yes or No?
Exercise: Yes or No?
Do you find exercise helps with your illness'? I have PsA, Fibromyalgia and Severe Asthma- just to name a few. My husband thinks I need to start exercising, but I disagree. Walking takes a toll on me. Moving around hurts, even more. I don't think he understands the depth of my conditions. When a doctor (pain management) says they are sorry and there is nothing they can do for you, you would think....it's bad, really bad. I try to walk at least 500 steps daily. Some days are better than others.… read more

Does Anyone use TEETER HANGUP to reverse spinal compression.?
Does Anyone use TEETER HANGUP to reverse spinal compression.?
I have been using TeeterHangup about 12 years now and I'm pretty sure it's the only thing that has saved me from being crippled. The inversion therapy is like a blessing. I don't mind hanging upside down for a few minutes a day or a week. It's less expensive than going to get stretched on a table. Does inversion help anyone else.?
I love mine and agree, I couldn't live without it.
