For those of you who frequent this blog, you probably remember the post about that new foam pillow I got....actually, you'll probably still see it if you scroll down.
Anyways, it was heaven in the beginning. Sooooo comfortable! But then a couple weeks later, I noticed that my neck began to hurt all day. It started out as a twinge in the neck. Then it progressed to episodes of shooting pain thru my spine into the head. Finally, my neck was so stiff, I had to turn my whole body to look around. So I thought....could it be my foamy pillow? I denied it at first...the attachment I had developed for my cushy buddy blinded me from the truth. But the pain was becoming intolerable and I was desperate. So I finally grabbed the foam contoured pillow, disrobed it of its case, and slipped it back on to my old flat lumpy pillow.
I woke up the next day feeling refreshed and limber in the neck! Though my old pillow is low tech and nothing much to behold, I had a newfound appreciation for it. I guess new isn't always better.
