I'M SORRY I WANT TO SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOF TOPS!!!

 

I ACTUALLY SLEPT LIKE I HAVEN'T SLEPT SINCE THE STROKE.

 

I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THE SHANGRILA DIET AND SOME PEOPLE ARE TAKING FLAX SEED OIL CAPS OR FISH OIL AND FOUND IT HELPS THEIR SLEEP, MOOD (byproduct from the sleep?) and BALANCE....I'M TAKING 1000 MG CAPS 2 CAPS AT MORNING, LUNCH AND NIGHT TIME...I'M 5'5" AND 130 (WAS 137 AND EASILY LOST 7 LBS IN THE LAST MONTH ON THIS). BUT I KEPT SAYING I'LL TAKE SLEEP OVER LOSING THE WEIGHT...

 

GOSH I FEEL REALLY GOOD.....I FEEL LIKE I REALLY SLEPT....LOOK UP OMEGA 3'S....WE SUPPOSIDLY GET TOO MANY OMEGA 6'S AND NOT ENOUGH 3'S..... :big_grin: :cheer: HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE!

Jan,

 

I'm happy you're finally getting some sleep!!! It's terrible when you can't sleep and you wander around in the dark or toss and turn.

 

Unfortunately, I'm allergic to flak seed so I can't try your solution.

Its natural to not sleep after stroke and loose weight - I am a 20 yr. survivor, and working hard to recover, fatigue always plagued me, but as there is so much effort in recovery by the patient, we are burning lots of calories

Sleep will come in time, but talk with your doctor about this

I lost three dress sizes being tube fed but feel the stroke was a drastic diet! Still, every cloud has a silver lining! Thanks for telling us about omega 3, I'll try anything (within reason) to see if it helps.
