Weighted blankets

I am not sure if I am allowed to post this. But if you can sew this book is on making weighted blankets and uses simple sewing techniques. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Weighted-Blankets-Vests-Scarves-Projects/dp/1940611466/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1532448992&sr=8-1&keywords=Weighted+blanket+book

It is mainly child size projects but they can be scaled up for adults. 

I also have badly reacted to medication, but have found valerian root extract to be useful in helping me get to sleep. 

I have attempted sewing on a number of occasions and the results have been....well let's say interesting!  My partner wouldn't believe how bad I am at sewing until he witnessed my attempts first hand - his advice was to quit whilst I was ahead and I couldn't agree more!  

I have tried Valerian root extract previously and it does help to relax me a bit if I am not too bad to start with, but I think I am a bit beyond that at the moment.  It's definitely better than medication though once the anxiety is not too bad.

I am glad it helps a little. I have also taken the 50mg nightol you get over the counter which helps me sleep I still get really groggy on it but nowhere near as bad as prescription tablets. Have you had your iron levels checked recently? I had chronic anxiety and turns out I was anemic and it was giving my heart palpitations. Not gone now my iron is normal but certainly a lot more under control. I hope you find some things that work. I find yoga with meditation good to. 

You sound like you have a good GP :) Hope you find some relief for your anxiety to and hope you get over your virus to - it's not nice being ill for long periods of time. 

Glad to hear you got your iron levels sorted as it can be such a simple thing to be overlooked as you found out.  I have had my bloods done recently and have had them done regularly in the past.  All levels are fine and if anything I seem to have very good folic acid levels which is apparently unusual of someone my age and gender, but there you go.

I meditate as regularly as I can - albeit this last week was a bit hit and miss and I want to start yoga again, just need to get myself well again as I am fighting a nasty virus and infection at the moment, so not fit for much.  I have even challenged to doctor to check I am not suffering with any immunity disorders,  but everything is fine thankfully.
