I was/am exhausted from the Thanksgiving travel and socializing (Which I was good about excusing myself when starting to overload) It doesn't help that we're not in the most comfy guest bed at my in-laws. Today might be a long day...I'll hope for a better sleep outcome tomorrow.
Poetrymom, have you had to increase how much melatonin you take over time? |
No, I haven't increased my dosage. I take 2-3 droppers of liquid melatonin. Have now for at least a year and more. My sleep issues are more seasonal and also middle age stuff. I want to go off of melatonin, but I don't know when. I think in the summer I will really try not to take it or taper back and see what happens

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013.
Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines,
Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something.
Therapy I had: vestibular
3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling.
9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms.
I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery.
Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired.
