That Elusive Sleep
I probably started having sleep issues at about 61 which hit with Fibro syndrome. That was in mid 1999. I worked hard at getting sleep issues fixed. With the help of a friend, we came up with this combo:
7:30PM
3/4mg Melatonin (1mg Soure Naturals, break to get 3/4mg)
500mg Inositol and or 500mg Gaba
Learning what works best for your body.
I've learned to work with these 2 "calmers" so use thru the
day too.
10:30-11PM
500mg Inositol and usually 1 Calms Forte' (homeopathic)
All the above can be adjusted for the person.
This combo gives me 8-10 hrs pretty good sleep.
I've never taken pharma sleep drugs and worked long and hard to get the above combo that works for me.
If I cannot get back to sleep after bathroom run at 3AM or so, I take another Inositol or Calms and this puts me back to sleep good. Lately, I don't need help during middle of night.
Besides Fibro "stuff", OA lives in me bodywide, and a mess from hip replacement in 2010. Left me with nerve damage, IT band damage, shorter leg....good grief.....
Oh, and 2 Advil at 11PM, so no pain during the night.
