My Lyme disease gives me a lot of pain and I tried many things to fight it but nothing helped. Only when I got this mat there was a difference. It is relaxing, my husband fell asleep 5 minutes after he lied on it LOL… now he wants his own… It’s a shame I didn’t buy a larger mat as my arms keep slipping off it when I’m relaxed and I wanted my arms to be on it. So next mat we’ll buy we’ll go for the bigger size…
