My DH uncle was told that it was safe to give to his elderly mother as a sleep aid nightly. It's mainly just Tylenol and Benadryl. Or you could look at the ingredients and just take that amount of the Benadryl part.
I've developed another interesting symptom. I tighten up my shoulders and neck each night. Maybe because I have two fans blowing on me due to the night sweats. Anyway, I wake up with a terrible stiff neck and tight shoulders each morning, which sometimes turns into a headache. You try to make one thing better and break something else.
I'm with Amy. Give those of us who can't take hormone therapy or plant estrogens some help. Has anyone found anything else that gave them some relief?
I have used Replense for v. dryness and it helps some. It's not a cure and it's expensive, but it does make it a little better.
Sometimes I think our husbands need a support group more than we do. I know my husband thinks sometimes that I find him unappealing. It's not that. It's just that sex is the last thing on my mind. And personally, I can't imagine why he wants to sleep with me? If I was living with a hormonal monster, I'd just want to leave him alone.
