OMG, Frozen shoulder! Mine reached it’s peak earlier this year. So painful and the continually decreasing mobility and weight-bearing were a real limitation. Then about a month ago I realized I was entering the “thaw” portion.
My hot flashes/night sweats have been fairly minor compared to a lot of people and have come and gone. I’ll think they’re done, but then I go through a “flash patch” again. They are mostly at night and not that hot or sweaty, but still interrupt my sleep. I used to be soooooooo damn good at sleeping! I would fall asleep within 10 mins of turning off the light and not wake again until my alarm went off of 8-9 hours later if there was no alarm. Never had to pee in the night, didn’t have to wake to roll over, slept hard enough that I rarely remembered dreams. Them I would sometimes toss and turn for an hour before falling asleep, have to get up to pee at least once most nights, turn my pillow to the cool side multiple times, fluff the heat out of the covers, etc. I started taking magnesium glycinate about 60-90 mins before bed and that has helped a lot. It makes me drowsy and able to fall asleep easily and when wake in the middle of the night, it’s less awake and easier to fall back asleep.

And I will say I’m so glad that I made these undies, as whilst I don’t find I need to wear them at home, they were vital whilst being more active on holiday (especially when I tripped trying to climb off the pedalo!!) I’ll have to do a post soon on the bits I made for the holiday, I didn’t end up taking everything because of the weather but I did make quite a few undies, a couple of pairs of trousers, and swimming costume, and took in my existing me-made ones to fit!
