In Kingskerswell, near me in South Devon UK, there is a pocket of pwms. In this region, mist hangs around frequently when everywhere else is dry, so much so that you can't make out the homes and roads at times. This got me thinking about other pwms living in low lying coastal and river valley areas ...

Thanks for responding to my post. Do you generally have a problem with changing the side you sleep on and have you tried a memory foam mattress as these are great to sleep on on an inclined bed? Do you live in a humid / damp area / home? If so have you tried using a dehumidifier? As yet there is no ...

It's been a while since Inclined Bed Therapy was introduced to this forum and thought it is a good time to ask for progress updates from those of us using IBT. A new page on Facebook has stimulated some very interesting results and I hear from new people testing IBT almost every day with the same pr...

"Bump"

Could more people on TIMS vote in this poll? The results thus far are interesting.

We now have a page on Facebook, where some interesting developments are being reported, hope to see you there. http://www.facebook.com/InclinedBedTherapy

Along with barometric pressure changes comes inevitable humidity change. Increase the humidity and we decrease our ability to evaporate water, instead it trickles down our skin and this saps our energy. http://www.achooallergy.com/effects-of-humidity.asp

"all i do is lay in bed hoping things get better"

Could this have caused the UTI?

poet, idon't know about the venous but i'd say pressure and the effect it has on most things i don't see how it wouldn't effect the veins in some way. i know that besides feeling like an all around heaviness and miserable every symptom magnified my legs get hit the worst. maybe a way of telling if ...

Nice find Blossom, this really is important research.

Hi William, thank you, your MRI results are interesting and would be even more interesting compared to the last MRI scan. It may be worth writing to your GP and ask again for a comparison? Nevertheless, your report reflects the same pattern that Terri Harrison reported, she also had no active lesion...

Link to this post 01 Jul Haven't been here for a long while, but never forgot about this site or its importance! It's been more than two years of IBT for me with no other forms of 'treatment'. I have had zero relapses and am much steadier on my feet, have normal heat tolerance, and no longer worry a...

As of last June I have been sleeping in an inclined bed (30 degrees avg)every night. It has been almost a year. I have over that time regained my continence (don't wear diapers any-more) my sense of balance has been regained. I do not twitch any longer. I have an MRI that I will pick up Monday. It ...

Dr Amir more than a month has passed since your first post about recommending IBT to your patients. We should be hearing from them with regards to changes and would anticipate some feedback from those who have confirmed they are sleeping inclined. Have you received any feedback and if not could you ...
