Trouble Sleeping

[AKSleever 57]

Since I have been home from Surgery and Vacation I am having a terrible time with sleeping, trouble falling asleep, staying asleep! It's bothering me cuz my energy level is down to nothing! Not working right now so I don't have money for prescriptions or Doctors

How long are you post op? I had the same problem. I could only get a few hours sleep at night and even that was broken sleep and then in the daytime I couldn't stay awake and kept dozing off.

I went to the pharmacy and they gave me a bottle of medicine - Phenergen (I'm in England so they probably wont have it there but might have an equivalent). It's for hay fever and anti-travel sickness but can be used to help with sleep. Once I started taking that and being able to sleep on my front again I have been getting a much better sleep at night. I now get 7 hours unbroken sleep and have little daytime dozing. I am 6 days post op.

Speak to your pharmacist and see if they can give you anything.

Good luck x

Once I started to really exersize this problem went away for me- my husband and I were just discussing this this morning as we were doing our miles.
