Hi MrsMitch,
Yeah I'm sure we can't really wake a hundred times in a night and still function every day but it certainly feels like it.
Upping my match does seems to have lessened the amount of night sweats which is an added bonus, so not as much duvet on duvet off going on. I did have CBT, but that was for anxiety, peri stuff and ended up about my weight issues and last eating disorders!... Funny the way convos lead to the most unexpected.
I try to keep a night routine, phone and iPad off an hour before bed, no tv, bit of stretching and yoga to help my aching bones. Don't know if it helps, but I do drift off quickly.
Ah, Nas, my Cadbury dose.... ( 1 and 1\2 patches as can't get 75 patch she explains. Don't want anyone thinking we're mad Nas!😜)
I used my very last complete 75 this morning, so begin the Cadbury on Thurs. I have to say I am so much better now I have hoped from 50. Calmer, less erratic, still irritable but a lot of that is my normal... No adverse effects.BUT. I do have the background fear that is all going to come crashing down again, something I know you can identify it.
I think I am wrong to hope that it's going to last on an even keel, have been disappointed so many time and it's always my mental\emotional symptoms that are my worse.
But... Let's enjoy the good days.
Hugs to all
