How do you stay comfortable when you're uncomfortable?
If you suffer from AS, then you probably know the struggle of always trying to make yourself comfortable in almost every situation. What items or methods do you use to stay comfortable on your worst days?
Because I have MS, heat is mostly my enemy - isn't that funny? However, I use all my effort to track down things that help me cool! I have found sheets that cool me immediately, so I can have them on my bed. For the first time I found a light blanket that I can use, also. It is so amazing to feel the weight from the blanket on my body! I haven't had that in years!
Also I think I will sew on weights to the sheet in summer!

I love how you are dedicated to finding things that keep you cool.
It's great that you have found a few things that are making a difference for you.
Please continue to keep us updated.

The foam mattress, foam pillow to sit on, and hearing pad are definately my go-tos. I also have a vibrating heating pad which is awesome!
I will be taking a long flight in November so the inflatable water bottle and travel pillow will now be part of my kit! I have also picked up some comfy clothes for the flight. Thanks for the great suggestions, everyone!
Great items to have to help with the pain. Thanks for sharing. I do hope your trip is a pain-free excursion and that you enjoy your time away. That vibrating heating pad sounds incredible. Maybe I'll get it for the holidays as a gift. Putting it on the list. Wishing you the best of health. Rebecca (team member)

My heating pad
hot tub when can’t get in a pool to float. Using a noodle u der your ankles and a noodle under your neck. You can float in the water weightless and all the aches and pains go away. You feel no pain anymore. It’s amazing if I could sleep in a pool like that I would. Hello! Your description definitely describes how much you cherish these moments of tranquility and relief. If only we could sleep in such a peaceful state all the time! Thanks for joining in and helping us find comfort. Warmly - Rebecca (team member)
