Help for Sleep Chemopause

climbergirl

I am 5 years out and one of the most pesky things that I found was how chemo and the resulting chemopause really screwed up my sleep. I cannot take sleeping pills as I work in computer support and have to be ON all the time and sharp.  Meds like that impair me cognitively the next day and he job is stressful enough. 

This is what helped:

Wearing a night shade 

Remifemin This is a small miracle, has Valerian and some other stuff and totally works. Whole Foods, specifically for the post meno ladies.

Taking Estriol vaginally. It is a weak estrogen, low dose and can help with sleep.  Yes, it is a form of Estrogen. Guess what, my quality of life and sleep is more important than my worries over any Estrogen intake. I also would like to keep my bones healthy as well. 

Good Luck,
