Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Have you had your iron tested yet, ? It's not good to take more that what you need.... Wasn't someone saying the having low Bs was a contributing factor to restless leg? How are the allergies doing? They got pretty bad for you last week didn't they?

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Amazing how we are all so different... I add this now only to show that everyone has to tweak and experiment to find out what their body needs. Keep in mind that I have NO thyroid function, mine was killed off by RAI.... My insomnia started about a year after the RAI, it was bad.. it would take up to 2 hours to go to sleep after I laid down. If I slept less than 2 hours I had severe headaches. If there was any noise it woke me and then I had to wait to fall back to sleep. I did ALL the insomnia things.. NEVER nap during the day, no matter how tired you are, to increase you success of sleeping through the night. Don't eat right before bed. Keep the bedroom cool and dark. Keep the bedroom ONLY for sleeping. Keep the bedding fluffy and fresh and comfy.. NONE of that worked.. what finally did the trick, after some dozen years... was to take some of my thyroid as I crawl into bed. I dose 5 times a day.. the first dose as I wake the last as I crawl into bed, the others spread evenly through the day.... The very first night I took a dose at bed time, I slept through the night and woke feeling more rested that I had in years AND my pain was gone.. years and years of waking feeling like I'd been hit by a truck, and it was gone!!! I also started dreaming, again for the first time in over a decade.. I could dream! Not flashback nightmares, not the voids that I'd been experiencing, but lovely, wonderful 'put a smile on your face' dreams. It's been over a year now.. but I still am in awe of waking and finding out that it's morning and time to get up, that the night is behind me and I'm not just waking 20 minutes after falling asleep and going to be laying here for hours AGAIN exhausted and hurting and so very very tired.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 I take my thyroid and adrenals in the mornings before getting up and moving about, I too discovered being unable to sleep if I took them at night, I have been taking the melatonin every other night and it is working now and I,m not a groggy mess, I apply one application of pro-gest when I get up and one before bedtime, I think with all of us it,s trial and error , finding out what works and what dont for us, Re: dern it restless leg Hi,For me, I take my Calcium & Magnesium & Zinc supplement and Melatonin right before hitting the sack. I also have found that taking my essential oil capsules and flax seed oil capsules at bedtime have quieted down my night "twitches" and I sleep deeper. I am hoping that you are taking your Natural glandular's early in the day along with the progesterone. For me if I take any of my Armour and adrenal support within 4 hours of my hitting the sack I have a very restless night, lots of twilight sleep and very little rem sleep.Hope this helps.Gossimer P.S. One old fashioned remedy that I encountered when I worked with the Elderly was to drink a Warm glass of water just before going to bed. This lady was a wonderful lady to listen to for old fashioned remedies...and the warm water worked for her, she slept soundly until the following morning. even with our comings and goings up and down the hallways...> porcine glandualar thyroid(130mg) one a day,> Porcine andrenal glandualar(80mg) one a day, selinium,( Omega 3> calcimateplus800> megavitaminforwomen> and progesterone> I have always had problems with anemia and retaining potassium and I have Mitro valve prolapse been like that all my ife never let it slow me down> > the restless leg comes and go,s if I get up and walk around it seems to disapate some, > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
