Sleeping

Really having problems sleeping can't take hrt as my disease was estrogen based.

  • Sorry to hear of your trouble sleeping.  I have been taken off hrt for the same reason. Although hot flushes have returned, they're not as bad as when I first started menopause. I hope things will settle down for you moving forward.

  • It’s horrible , I had to come off HRT as both my breast tumours were oestrogen feed . Sweats were horrendous , I now take Vencarm ,which is an antidepressant ,but used for menopausal symptoms as well . This is helping ,although I still have my moments . I take Magnesium before bed too . You could always try nighttime teas and Valerian,which is a herbal sleep aid . Have a large fan in bedroom and window open ,it’s like an icebox with me ,but it helps . Good luck xxx
