Hi Ladies,
I feel so miserable I think I am going to be the first person do die of sleep deprivation! (Ok, exaggeration I know, but I cannot even think straight anymore)
I read all the threads about this already. I tied it all from acupuncture to antihistamines to herbal stuff. In the past, I was able to sleep but wake up 3 -4 hours later but now it is not happening either. I am just like a zombie. Can't fall asleep or stay asleep.
My GP prescribed Zopiclone this week and I tried 2 pills (7.5mg) last night. Didn't do a thing apart from giving strong metallic taste in my mouth. I am dreading to go to bed.
I am 46, peri, on 100mg vaginal ultrogestan 12 days a month and estrogel 2.5 pumps. Increasing estrogel did not agree with me. I had digestion problems, my endometriosis got aggravated, I grew an ovarian cyst and all went away with 2 months of reducing estrogen (it was a patch at the time, we moved to gel, on my arms and shoulders). I don't think I am on too little oestrogen. Can it still be too much oestrogen? Would it cause sleep disturbance?Dr Uzzi Reiss in his book says "ring check" can help understand if there is too much estrogen in the body. According to this, yes I have too much. However, my breasts are not getting big and painful like they did with the patch. I feel ok in myself, no night sweats or anything.
I am just suprised how I can still function. I will probably collapse at one point. This is not easy with a 6 year old boy and a demanding job that requires travel every now and then. One next week. Arrrgggh!
Any ideas please??
Tanks for reading.
