Hi oaktree,
I'm afraid I'm in the same boat as you at the moment regarding sleep. However I did take mertazapine for 6 months to help me sleep and it was fab. I was having a full nights sleep. Unfortunately I had to stop it as it wouldn't mix with a new med I've stated on and I've not slept since it's got a huge amount of antihistamines in it which causes drowsiness and I would highly recommend it. Good luck.
Maybe try chamomile tea before bed. Suppose to calm the body. My husband, who has asthma, and I drank some Ginger tea before bed last night and slept pretty good with little congestion and breathing problems. I had to get up and pee all night though. That is part of my broken sleep. I hate it! Maybe I drank the tea too close to bedtime! Ha!
Hi. Finally I think I may have cracked it for now. The pain was waking me after 3/4 hours sleep so now I'm taking 2 paracetamol before bed and if I wake 2 more. 8 hours straight. Yes I have found some herbal teas helpful 1 hour before bed helpful in relaxing me out more. But it was the pain waking me. Hopefully sorted. Thanks for your replies. Wishing you all deep restful times.
Oaktree...funny how pain wakes us up...I got a better hold on night sweats, and now my shoulder pain is so bad, It wakes me up every time I turn over. I have been having terrible times sleeping lately. Don't want to take meds. Any other suggestions out there.
