I wake up like a shot and start cleaning the house, go on computer, etc... Why aren't you still taking Cortef? I am on 10% progresterone 1/2tsp per day from day 12 through when my period starts. No help in sleeping though. My sister found it a great relief from her insomnia. I am going to be very careful with my food and the Cortef. I am reading Dr.Phil's diet book. I just love him, but he ain't for everybody! Take Care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
