Yeah, same. Maybe the crappy foam wedge that your shoulder can sink into with a pillow on top for your head.

Uhh… yeah drs love to recommend weight loss for everything and maybe some people it might help?

But I am thin so it’s not the magic bullet they think it is (and treating it as such often misses underlying conditions)
