3 weeks post hysterectomy: Difficulty sleeping

Anyone else having difficulty sleeping? I was doing really well up until this week
Not tired at night and can't get comfy

Hello and welcome to the other side

You are not alone with the sleepless nights..... I have just come to accept the fact that it's another symptom of menopause for me. My husband is now retired and I don't work outside of the home so staying up all hours of the night isn't a big issue but I do feel for those who have to work and wake up early.

I had both ovaries removed as they suspected cancer and I am not sure if you had any of yours removed but from what I have read here, insomnia seems to be more common in my situation. You are very early into your healing process. Give yourself some time and hopefully you will be able to sleep well again and be comfortable. Your body has been through a lot of trauma and is recovering.

I just love this community, it has been a Godsend for me and it never sleeps.

Gentle ((hugs))

Thank you for your response. The only thing they did not remove was my ovaries.
It's so frustrating when I cantvget comfortable by the time I do I get about 3 hours of sleep and it's time to get up to get my 2 boys off to school.
Not sure about u but I'm one of those people that once I'm. Up I'm up for the day.
Glad I'm not alone on this
New journey
Thank u again

Once I stopped my pain meds I had trouble sleeping

I'm just over a year....and sleeping is still a huge problem and sweats.
My new female doc is trying to help and I have changed to a hrt patch. ...early days for that though.

I've been sleeping better since I put the body pillow back

Can you take melatonin? It helps me and several members of the family.
