I agree. I always wear the cotton knit at home and the other stuff only when going out. Thank heavens for stretchy jeans now. janice ----- Original Message ----- From: jrushton To: [email protected] ; tmic Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2009 8:48 AM Subject: Re: [TMIC] leg and foot comfort in bed
One thing I did find is that I sure can't wear jeans anymore because
the denim causes immediate pain and leads to painful spasms. There are a few
other fabrics that do the same thing. The safest is lightweight cotton knit.

I think that this is something that most of us suffer from at some
point during our TM lives, skin sensitivity against fabric, and it's the worst
when we are trying to get some much needed sleep.
I have purchased so many sets of sheets and blankets over my TM years
(T 8-10, 6/1/99), and I have had this sensitivity for most of that time. It
started as sensitivity and is so often PAIN. I've gone from egyptian cotton,
very good quality flannel, jersey (like T-shirt material) and all sorts of
thread counts of cotton. In sheets, I think that most of the time, my most
comfortable sheet happens to be the jersey. I'm not saying that I can always
have my legs against them, because I cannot, I lay on my back many nights with
my knees bent so nothing touches my legs. Blankets are much worse, so you need
to get the most comfortable sheet you can near your skin. If you have any
"old" pajama bottoms, those are also some of the most comfortable, or I wear
the short ones.
I've bought some microfiber plush pants this year from OldNavy.com and
they have been warm on my legs and haven't irritated them. I am very much
looking forward to warmer weather when I can wear short pants all the time and
not being uncomfortable.
