Physically?

I am in so much pain...

I am exhausted because I have not slept more than 2-3 hours a night for weeks now. I am sure this exacerbates the pain and vice versa.


Fern, I do believe reaching a state of relaxation (and alternate states/brain waves) can be very helpful in both managing pain (to some degree, and I will take any relief I can get) and in increasing the potential for possibly getting some additional sleep.


I have ordered a product with ingredients much like the tinctures an herbalist used to make for me. She'd made different strengths. I would use a less potent mix during the daytime and a highly potent mix at night. If I was getting hypomanic, I would use the night-time tincture during the day. Sadly, she has passed on. I have not found an herbalist so talented since.


This product has the same ingredients she had used in the tinctures she had made for me.

This is a transdermal patch and is time released so there is less likely to be a "hangover" in the morning.


This is called:Klova - Topical Sleep ZPatch. Naturally a Better Night's Sleep. I intend to try this over the weekend.

I will follow-up , sharing my experience.

I hope everyone has a healthy weekend!
