Tell us how you cope with poor sleeping
Libby Babe:
Hi Soo Bear :)
Sorry to hear you are having trouble sleeping. I find that listening to music quietly on headphones helps me, it might be worth a try. It is awful when you can't sleep and we can all sympathise with you. Let me know how you get on.
Love Libby

Hi Soo Bear, I am exactly the same in that I wake up in the early hours, I can be sound asleep one scond and then suddenly you'd think someone had flicked a switch and my heart sinks when I realise I'm wide awake again!
I've spent weeks lately dragging myself through the days with no energy, aches and pains and just feeling unable to cope :(
The past couple of nights though have been better, and I've started taking menopace and night time kalms, although I suspect that this might be a blip and I'll be back to square one in a week or so.
My sleeplessness seems to tie in with before, during and after my period, so I often get a week or so when I feel okay, then it strikes again!
I am only 41, but seriously considering going for some medication when it's really bad, as I just can't seem to function.
Menopausal Minnie:
Hi Foggy - Sorry to read you're feeling "not the best" I'm having a "not the best day today" it must be really nice to get up in the morning and feel good about the day ahead.....COME BACK SOON.
Big Hug to you :-) :hug: anyway
I take Menopace as well as at least it has had some Medical investigations done. I also take Kalms as well and find if I time it just right then I get a fair to decent nights sleep.
I'm also going to give the Magnet Therapy a go, and try Starflower Oil capsules again.
You'll be able to pick me up and I'll ruddy well rattle soon - no wonder I'm constipated I'm taking in more "remedies" than actual food :-)
Anyway, hope you feel better soon
Love MM

Aww bless you MM, hugs to you too :hug: :hug:

I am going to try 1 mg of melatonin tonight as suggested - anyone have any other hints or tips to get to sleep easier and quicker - it takes me about 2 hours some nights. All my other symptoms have now been alleviated since I went back on HRT nearly 3 weeks ago ( Evorel patches) but not the sleep yet. I was encouraged by the post from the lady who said she had quick relief when she began Ellest Duo tablets ( was it?) Boy do I need some deep refreshing sleep. I just keep praying for the relief to come ... and worrying that it may never resolve itself. But it did last time when I started HRT 4 years ago - so I'm hoping it will again. We are going to Holland for a weekend break on saturday so I will take the sleeping pills my GP gave me and use them cautiously if need be ( Stillnoct 10mg - will use a half) Love to all you lovely ladies!
