Hi! I'm Jenni, 34, and from the Chicago area. I have Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue. I've also recently discovered I have issues with gluten (not sure if it's celiac or gluten sensitivity).

This is so helpful... thank you for starting it! Right now we have a pillow-top regular (spring) mattress. On top of that is a featherbed. It's more comfortable, but I really want to get something better.

I am GF as of this past October. :) I've had Fibro since 1999, and a friend had suggested I try removing gluten from my diet. I did, and have felt SO much better!
