Clara had a car accident a few years ago.
Unfortunately, it was more than your typical bumper-denting accident.
A drunk driver veered into her lane, cut her off, and ultimately forced her vehicle into the median at 60 miles per hour. The smoking wreckage and twisted metal of her own car, the shattered glass on the street, and the smell of burning oil are just some of the things that have stayed with her over the years.
Clara remembers the accident vividly. She reiterates how grateful she is to have walked away from the accident, but says she wasn’t alone.
“I started the day off well. Totally happy, carefree, stuff like that. Now, after the accident, I carry this pain with me. Chronic pain for years. I can’t sleep. It makes me,” Clara sighs, “…the hardest thing in my life. No sleep, more pills, more pain. No relief.”
Clara is not alone in her pain, nor in her inability to get restful sleep.
When the doctor presented Clara with the possibility of surgery, she decided enough was enough.
“I won’t have any more surgeries ,” she says fiercely. “Not anymore. I made an appointment with the doctor and got a second opinion. I can’t live like this anymore. I need to sleep.”
Some experts say that neck pain is natural and caused by poor posture during the day, such as working too long at a computer. We disagree! Here at Derila, our goal is to improve people’s lives. That’s why we’ve dedicated years of development to creating one of the most technically advanced ergonomic memory foam pillows.
