Does anyone know why . . .

the post about sleeping on your left hand side was deleted? I got the post heading in my daily digest but just got the oops notice when i clicked on it.

The reason Im interested is because I only ever sleep on my left side due to reflux as the entrance to the stomach (the LES, lower oesophageal sphincter) is a bit down on the right hand side. So sleeping on the left means the LES is higher up and to a large extent gravity prevents acid leaking out.

I would have liked to read the link.

No idea why it would have been deleted O2, maybe l missed something. Xxx

Oh yes, I was going to read that too! I normally sleep on r/h side but have a lot of trouble with reflux.

I too received that thread in my daily round - up and eagerly clicked the link to read about the apparent benefits. Such a shame it vanished.

The same happened to me (the oops) I was interest as I sleep on my left side because of reflux so, like you, would have loved to have read the post.

I can't remember Gerald's new user name ...just to check if he is still around

Maybe he deleted it himself so let's not jump in and blame moderators. In my reply, I said that while I saw the logic of the benefits to the digestive system, that I'd take the rest of the article with a grain of salt. He doesn't strike me as someone to delete a post because another person didn't agree 100%. Or maybe there were further responses after I posted. Who knows ?

Hi O2

How strange ..there was nothing to upset the moderators unless l offended them by referring to bladder problems !!πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

And Gerald doesn't normally take offence, he is usually game for a joke.

Xx

Yes there is defenetly something wrong with the site

Hi, it was Gerald999 who wrote the interesting article about sleeping on your left side, complete with a picture.

It looks like he's deleted the post himself as the last one he put on here was 13 days ago.

Or the mods could have removed the entire post for whatever reason.

Don't suppose we'll ever know but it's a pity either way as it made good reading.

Take care🌻

It seemed everyone was making a joke out of it. Maybe he got offended. It was a good topic. Maybe he will put the link back on , when he sees people are seriously interested. Theres a time and place for everything.

Hi Ruby

All the replies l read this morning the members were showing a great deal of interest, up until l went out l was the only one having a joke with him.

At the same time l also said it was an interesting post and praised him for it.

Gerald and l have shared many jokes with each other, over the last couple of years, he knows like me about a time and a place for everything, he also knows. Like me the people who are easily offended....Gerald isn't one of them.

Didn't mean to offend you Velvet. Was just trying to figure out why he removed it. Thought maybe he figured no one was taking it serious Lord knows, I would never do or say anything to hurt you. Sorry if I offended you. Don't want to be one of those people on the site, looking for trouble. Thats not what I'm all about. Did anyone pm him and ask? 😊😊

Rubyxx 😊

Hi Ruby πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

No offence taken, l didn't see any replies after l went out, so perhaps you saw more than me. Later that evening when l looked his post had gone.

It was , a good and interesting post as you know, and l am lucky, as l always sleep on my left side naturally.

Up until l went out, members were all showing interest, and l saw nothing that the moderators could object to.

Maybe Gerald was having a bad day...we all have them,... and was a little more sensitive than normal...If so...Come back Gerald, we need members like you.

If you didn't like my joke l apologise, l will never worry about your bladder again πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

As for you my little friend from across the pond, l hope you are not involved with that giant snowstorm over the USA.

The UK Grinds to a halt if we have 2 inches of snow, let alone 2 foot !! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Keep safe

Hi Velvet.😊

I always love your jokes!

You keep this site lively,

for sure! πŸ˜€ Yes Velvet, 2 feet of snow. Haven't went anywhere since Friday night. Cars are buried. Only main roads are open. We live behind a mall. Can't go anywhere till they plow it. Really bad storm! Just lucky we didn't lose power. Take care Velvet..

Omg Ruby

We are seeing so much on UK telly about your situation over there, it looks horrendous, but your authority's seem to have the clear up planned out for when it stops....or so it seems.

Hope you are well stocked up on food, if that was me l would hibernate in a warm bed with some good books , and a box of chocs , until it is all over !!πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Roll on the Summer

Take care all you in the USA

Thanks Velvet.😊

Most I've sat still for a long time! Little mini vacation. Lots of chocolates! We are lucky we have power. Many people don't. As long as I got my heat and telly, I'm good.😊 We are only 9 miles from the shore.

Thanks for letting us know Mark :)

I wondered why too. It was a very informative post. In fact I slept on my left side last night to wake this morning feeling alive! My hubbie said its all in your mind, I don't think so, it definitely worked for me. πŸ˜€. Xxx. Moongirl

I think your husband is right Moongirl :) Sleeping on your left should help with reflux etc., but if it were the answer to every health problem under the sun, then I'm sure we'd have heard about it earlier. I'm so happy to get any sleep at all, that I'm not picky about what side it happens on :)

β€’ in reply toBilliejean_2

Agree bj, it all depends on the condition u have. Plus I don't stay on either side all night as im sure many of us don't. Xx Sonia xx
