      Thank you Cathy! Make sure that you find some time for resting today. I noticed that sometimes when I have an energy filled day the next day I need to take it easy. Ugh this peri business! We will get through it! Take care!

    I think I saw that on facebook as well. It may work for some but not so much for others. I can fall asleep just fine but its the waking up in the middle of the night and early wakening that I have. I usually just stay awake from around 4:30 or so. I do wake up with palpitations as well but once I sit up or get up to use the restroom, it starts beating normal again. Well, either that or I just noticing it. Anyway sorry the banana tea didnt work. I take 2 benedryl at night before bed but again it doesnt keep me asleep. Hope we both find something that works!

      Thanks Valarie for your reply......what an awful thing we are having to go through. I guess I get so much more discouraged when I talked to other women about what's happening to me..they look at me as if i was talking a differnt language. Was at the produce market the other day telling the cashier about the palpitations and fatigue, she is 49..her  reply" was that she experinced hot flashes for 1 month and had no problems afterwards.....are these people in denial of what happen to them..or perhaps...they juast are the fortunate ones??????????God Bless
