Dealing with Insomnia......

I am going to be three weeks post-op from a TAH this Thursday. And, I can't sleep! I lay in bed and toss and turn.

It's getting old. ~~(>.<)~~ And, frustrating....

Has anyone else experienced this? And, if so, what helps?

Thanks!!!!!!!!

I'm 2 weeks post-op and I'm also having a hard time sleeping. I used to go to bed between 12 and 1, now I'm lucky if I get to bed by 3. I just can't go to bed and just lie there because if I can't fall asleep right away I get ticked off.

Might be time to call the docs and ask what we can do

(((hugs back)))

Yeah, it gets old, doesn't? It's almost 3 am and I'm wide awake. Last week it was 12:30...... It just gets better and better. (NOT)

Hehehe, yeah... Insomnia. It's 5:01 a.m. and I'm still awake. :/

I haven't slept well either. It's probably related to our unstable hormones.
I'm hoping as I get back into my exercise routine it will help. I still have a few more weeks before my doc will allow me to become as aggressive as I was with my exercise.

I had horrible insomnia after my hysterectomy. I highly suggest trying melatonin supplements. They worked fantastic for me.

I'm 8 weeks tomorrow from TVH and have had insomnia for most of my post op life! My Dr said it is due to hormonal imbalance, even though u kept both overies. I couldn't take it anymore and my Dr gave me sleeping pills and they work great but she also recommended melatonin supplements. I'm going to look for them today!

Melatonin supplements sounds like a plan to me. This insomnia is for the birds...

It's like: Dear Mr. Sandman, please quit standing me up! Bring me a dream... ANY DREAM!

I'm three weeks post op and this is my second week back to work. Since I can't make up for a bad nights sleep by taking naps anymore I've started taking an over the counter sleeping pill. I takes a while to kick in, but I sleep well once it does.

Called the doctor.. Yes, hormonal changes are the culprit. I also had my BF get me some melatonin. Will update on how it works for me (If I respond back at 2 am, you'll know it didn't work.)

Here's hoping the sandman visits tonight....
