Prostap advice please!

Hi ladies! After a bit of help please. I've recently had my 3rd prostap injection along with a lap where they removed extensive endo. My recovery's going ok but it would be a whole lot better if I could get a decent night's sleep! Has anyone else had problems sleeping with prostap and how did you deal with it? As if the hot flashes weren't enough!!!!

Thanks

Sorry to hear this - I've had similar issues. Try taking a calcium and magnesium supplement about an hour before you go to bed. It does seem to work reasonably well.

Thank you so much for this tip. I've now had a couple of nights of much better sleep! Really appreciate the help and advice. xx

I would echo a magnesium/calcium supplement. I took a magnesium supplement in the early stages when I first started having prostap and had a good nights sleep.

I've been on prostap for 9 months now and I really haven't had much problems with hot flushes, night sweats or restless sleep. I think one thing which may be helping is that I take a daily starflower oil supplement and have been for a while. It's similar to evening primrose oil but has more of the active nutrient known as GLA.

I am going to try the magnesium/calcium supplement and see if helps with my restless nights sleep

My initial thought when I read your post was to wonder if it was related to a lack of magnesium. I then quickly looked it up and other people have mentioned trying upping your magnesium and calcium intake on this website. Can you ask your GP for blood tests and ask them to include all electrolytes?
