I'm sorry, Kaw, that I never got back to you on this one. How did the therapy ball work out for you?

I've started doing more low impact exercises like marching and bouncing that stimulates my joints, as well as wall push-ups, for warm-ups. It is really a great way for me to get out of the "fog" when I've been sitting still for too long. I have a tendency to get away from my "jitters" by sitting very, very still, which ends up making my body kind of "blank" out. Not good. And when I do a good bit of chasing my son outside, enough to get tired, that helps a lot. But I'm sure that's why you go to the gym in the first place.

I like Karen's comment on light. I used to do that with candles (unsafe and impractical with my son now, however). But I'm sure some kind of calming lighting would be good when you're trying to sleep. I like light that flickers (obviously, with candles. lol). I also like white noise and sleeping very cool. I'm starting to think about trying a weighted blanket, too, if I can find something that isn't too warm.
