Hi Thelma
Sorry to hear you're having trouble sleeping. I only use one pillow, a good feather one which I push into shape last thing so it fills the hollow between my shoulder and head.
I've had many severely painful episodes with my neck over the last 20 years or so and I used to take anti-inflammatories to get through the first day or so. I think the stress of the last couple of weeks has precipitated a bit of achey pain right now though, just above my shoulders.
But I don't feel the heaviness in my head that you describe, in the past it's always been sharp pain that made it difficult for me to get my head off the pillow in the morning.
So basically my way of coping was anti-inflammatories and the right pillow.
I hope you find something that helps you soon, losing sleep night after night is debilitating,
Best wishes
Lynette
