A scrunchie was far too uncomfortable and a braid was also uncomfortable when I rolled over. I only started ponytailing it in March after my accident and am sorry I didn't do it sooner. Don't know about the trigger point thing but my current hair length is giving my neck the itchies!

I sleep with it in a braid, too, most of the time. I think a bun would pull too much for me. I wouldn't rule out the knitting, though, like Yvonne said. Try alternating 15 minutes of knitting with 3 of stretching, or something like. My hair is about to the bottoms of my shoulder blades. I sleep with it in a braid, too, most of the time.

It might also be possible that knitting might be contributing to it. That is the same spot that I tend to tense up both from knitting and when I am stressed.

I wear it on one braid at night, and it never has bothered me. A bun would bother me! I have FM too - I've had very specific flares at times, especially if I've been stressing a particular joint or muscle group. I think it's possible that changing from the bun to something flatter might help avoid stressing that point. You have me so eager to read those journals now! My hair is almost to my waist.

I generally wear it in pigtails. Like Pippi, except mine don't stick straight out like hers. I haven'5 tried sleeping on a bun, because it doesn't seem like it would be comfortable. That's probably not very helpful, sorry! Mine is to my waist, so definitely counts as long.
