Getting me down

Hi Ruth, anything with ginger in is good for nausea but if it is really bad your dr should be able to give you something. I have regular antisickness shots and pills inbetween. As for the tiredness, are you sleeping ok? I have a recipie for a homemade nightime drink which may help you have some better quality sleep. Take a generous mugful of full fat (jersey/guernsey gold top) milk, a teaspoon or to your personal taste of vanilla essence, 1 or 2 spoons of unbleached sugar and 1 or 2 crushed valarian tablets. You can also use a good hot chocolate mix instead of the vanilla if you prefer. Make a paste in the mug with a small amount of the milk and put rest on to heat. Add the sugar, vanilla or chocolate and the crushed valerian. Mix well. Take the milk off the heat just prior to boiling and add to the paste stirring continuously. Drink when at a comfortable temp. This should help to relax you and help give you a good nights quality sleep. Give it a try! Other than that you can try energy drinks during the day and I mean protien shakes NOT sugar and caffine loaded fizzy drinks. Try getting plenty of fresh air which will help with drowsiness. Hope these tips help you. Also you can look into energy promoting vitamin supplements. These things have helped me. Hope they help you and anyone else who tries them. XXX

hi i suffered terrible with the same symptoms amongs many others, im 48 and i finaly got hrt patches off my dr and up to know im on my fouth patch you use them twice a week take one off put another one on after four days. well almost straight away i saw a difference, im not tierd i dont sweat i dont feel sick i feel loads better up till now im happy i got them.

I know.. I'm tired all the time too. I do sleep at night so I don't know if it's winter which makes you feel blah or if it's my life  (married with kids) that I'm just drained.  I have doubled up on a few vitamins. I am just getting the basics done and exercise some.   My dentist mentioned something about a nightguard and how much better he sleeps with it. I grind my teeth at night so I'm hoping I'll see a difference in my sleep. I'm also in the process of tweaking my diet to see if that makes a difference. As for nausea I have heard that anything with ginger helps-- tea, candy, cooking with it, etc...
