Redporchlady's Journal, 19 January 2024

Nothing significant. Maintenance can be hard because you still have the up's and downs but you cannot let the up's take over. Also cannot let excuses take over. We can't blame menopause. It is in our control and we just have to figure it out. Even if that means we don't succeed try something else. For the next few weeks I may have some water gain so not going to let that be my excuse and do everything I can to keep things in check. I got a Testosterone pellet insert on Wednesday with an Estrogen blocker. I am being very optimistic that this will fix my sleep problems. I have tried so many things over the years - natural remedies, prescriptions, over the counter, herbal, CPAP, no blue screens before bed so did a lot of research on this and talked to the doctor so keeping my fingers crossed. One thing I did find out because they do a full blood workup is that my Vitamin b12 is high. So started checking some of the drinks I like and was surprised how many things have B12 in them!

Good luck on that sleep thing. Any solutions you find, please share. I have 2 to 4 hour gaps every night. I don't look at phone, sometimes I continue listening to a podcast or meditation. Sometimes I just "try to relax".

@Sharon - Thank you - It is frustrating for sure. I try to just relax and that works the but I just wish I did not wake up so often that I have to think about relaxing or techniques to go back to sleep. I did find a melatonin that I can take at 3 am when I wake up that I can usually sleep for two hours after I take that but I don't do it every night because I feel it looses it's effectiveness.
