Hi ladies
Hope your all as pain free as possible, this disease is really getting me down at the minute. I can't remember the last night I actually slept more than a couple of hours
Can anyone recommend anything to help e relax to get some sleep or something I could take to ease my body?
Any advice greatly appreciated xx
no sleep is horrible and makes the pain harder to bear 
you can try no caffine after 7, a nice warm bath with horlicks about 8 (but not too hot or it makes the blood pump to your womb)
i then lie in bed and read a boring book and it does the trick. herbal nightol is good to. good luck getting some sleep!!
i started amitriptyline a few weeks ago, and i now get a bit more sleep than i did, i'm on low dose, but think it makes me very sleepy in the afternoons too - might be worth asking your doc for something xx
I'm only newly diagnosed but would suggest no caffeine . Also lavender oil is very good . Another product I find helpful is Badger Balm Sleep Balm. You can get it in boots.
Have you tried Nytol HERBAL--very gentle and seems to work well. On 3 for2 in Boots and Tescos at the moment xx
Try serrapeptase.It is a natural remedy I have found out about it after researching for monthsabout endometriosis.
I swear by lavender oil .In my baths every night and also a litle on a tissue under my pillow .I love it so i buy it by the bucket load .Amazon have a really good selection but make sure you buy a decent pure esssential oil.Best of luck its horrible not being able to sleep.

Lavender Water- big bottles of it- are cheap at Boots the chemists.

Dab some on clothes or pillow. Much cheaper than lavender oil.
they do rose water too. I've still got a bottle of the lavender from about 10 years ago.
You don't need much of it to give off a relaxing lavender pong.
Thanks ladies xx willing to give it all a go x
I hear you girl. I never sleep for more than 2 hours at a time. the only thing i can suggest is trying to keep a routine and not be tempted to sleep longer (if you are lucky enough for this to be an option) to make up for the lost time in the night. i always end up doing this and a long period of interrupted sleep often feels worse. i just tend to snuggle up with a hot water bottle. even when its hot i just have the fan on too. you could try playing some relaxing music on quiet when you are trying to sleep. something else which i did and have found relaxing was to get some fish. sounds crazy but their tank is at the end of my bed and so when i cant sleep i watch them swimming around. its actually very relaxing. xxx
Lack of research
Lack of empathy at work
Lack of side effects ?
Lack of support
Lack of understanding from others
