I suffer from Fibro, RSD, and meralgia paresthetica. Due to the pain, I have difficulty falling asleep. Most sleep meds don't really work well. Tried ambien, trazadone,etc. The only drug seems to help (at least to fall asleep) is 6mg xanex. However I really still get awake several times and don't get a really restful sleep. I am trying to find something natural. It was suggested that I need to reset my adrenals by using phosphatidyl serine - so I bought it . Very expensive - and when I opened the bottle they are huge gel caps I'll never be able to swallow.
Now I read that this phosphatidyl serine is for memory problems. The literature on it did not mention anything about sleep or reset of adrenals.

Thinking of melatonin now. Investigating various types. Found a natural liguid melatonin nano plex from pr labs. It is cultured with probiotics and is not from an animal source. Anyone have any ideas about these products ---melatonin and phosphatidyl serine ?

This is a great forum. I have many more questions but don't want to overwhelm everyone at once. Since I have chronic pain and do not respond to ANY pain meds I am desperate for relief. I have tried a few natural products but had no relief. Thus I am now really going to dig deeper to try and discover something to help.
That's plenty for now. I could go on forever. It's late and my arms ache to type any longer.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can respond to this post.
