Weighted blankets

[Joanne20]

Please could anyone recommend a weighted blanket. TIA

One of mine was made by a local business, the other I bought on holiday on America - so cannot recommend a make

But I find they really help take the edge off when I have nerve pain, and also help with my restless legs

I get restless legs as well hoping a blanket will help me as well.

Have you tried our search box you may find what your looking for there. It is quite a regularly asked question. Good luck xx

Didn’t suit me I’m afraid though some people swear by them, I didn’t know Until I opened mine that if you have poor circulation, or diabetes you shouldn’t use one, i have poor circulation and I had swollen ankles when I used mine.

I have diabetes but I put mine over my shoulders like a wrap as my worst pain is shoulders - it really helps

Hello!I bought 2 from Kudd.ly and it helps my .

If you're not sure they're right for you you could try using added heavy blankets first. That test helped me, as I realized they hurt and oppressed me. When I then had the chance to try one it was even worse, I got a cramp from it after 30 minutes. But a slight majority of people here (more UK than elsewhere) seem to get help from them.

By the way: Dizzytwo referred to our search box: This would not be the one saying "Search HealthUnlocked", as that only takes you to public posts on all HealthUnlocked-forums.

But the one you get when you first click on "Posts", saying "Search posts on Fibromyalgia Action UK".

Hope that helps, cos as she says there are regular posts on this.
