@A MyFibroTeam Member maybe it was too heavy. It's only supposed to be a small percentage of ur body weight.

I especially made one, because I get really restless legs too, and I thought it might help. But it only made things worse for me, I couldn't tolerate it.

I have also heard this can help. A part of me agrees with smc, I feel on the bad days the pressure might hurt more than help but us fibro-ers are susceptible to insomnia and I have heard the weighted blankets help with that.
