I am currently trying an herbal transdermal patch made for insomnia.
I've only used it 2 nights so far. I need more time to be sure about the efficacy.
(I have a co-occuring medical condition right now which might skew the results. )
I had chosen this formula for trial because the ingredients are so very close to a formula an herbalist used to make for me in tincture and tea.. Her tinctures were very potent. She has passed on now.
I am very happy to share any info with you as I, too, try to find answers to the Mirapex insomnia.
Incase you'd like to take a look: Klova - Topical Sleep ZPatch. Naturally a Better Night's Sleep.
I hope you achieve some decent sleep asap!
it must be both exciting and a relief to have completed your recent article.
My best to you and to yours!  |
Thanks WC and @

I lowered by Mirapex dose this morning - my pdoc switched it to morning from night time. I don't think it'll make a difference for tonight but hopefully, things will improve soon.
I'll see if I can find the patch here in Canada - it's worth a try.
I went the whole day without eating and finally ate a little at 4pm. I'm really obsessed with the idea of going as long as possible without eating.
As for my article, it is a technical tutorial. It took me over 12 hours to figure out the details and steps for the article and three hours to write the article, so I hope the readers find it helpful. So far, I can see people are reading it and one person has commented with positive feedback.
When I'm feeling really low, I think of my articles and books and how both have helped readers. I don't feel a lot better, but it's good to remind myself that I have value in the world at a time when I'm not feeling valued, even by myself.
