Melatonin

[Purplewitch18]

Hi girls,

Is anyone on melatonin for pain? Im not on amy prescription drugs atm but i have a cyst on my ovary at the moment which is causing so much endo pain. It flares up at night and im back to crying myself to sleep. Last night i took patacetamol, ibuprofen and zomoph and i was still had moderate pain even after all that. Im waiting frim a call from the dr to ask for pain relief x

Hi

your post cropped in when I searched for melatonin. Did you end up trying it, and if so, did it work?

Thanks

Hi, i actually brough some 5HTP, it converts to melatonin in your body. Im still taking it, dont get much pain anymore.

Many thanks. Seeing GP this week and will ask.

Great to hear the pain is under control.😊

Good luck with your gp. Mine were useless, everything i take is from doing my own research. I also take turemeric, high dose flaxeed, and royal jelly for anti inflammatory, and im gluten and dairy free, so the 5htp def helps but its all those together that make a big difference for me.

I know what you mean 🤣

I’ve tried tumeric, maybe with flax, it may work.

I’ll see what she says, started Zoladex last month, so not sure if any clashes. They likely don’t really know either.

I doubt they will but you never know. I feel really crap without the flax, i was reluctant to take it at first because of all the info about it being estrogen, but actually what it does is rids your body of bad/excess estro and keeps the good.
