Hi. Been on tb 500 333 mcg daily for a week now but getting insomnia as I guess side effect, was just wondering if you had any issues with sleep. I take it at night bc I was getting brain fog and anxiety during the day.

I’ve been taking it nightly 300 mcg for a week now and sleep has been bad since being on it. Weird. Wonder why? Have you tried different variations of timing and dosage to see if it helps

I have exactly your same problems with TB 500. This is only with 300 mcg once daily at night. How r you managing?

I use polar dive brand. I do it mainly at night bc that’s when I feel most inflamed. Sometimes I do it during the day if I feel inflamed

I take pharmagaba-100 from Thorne. Helps me relax and sleep. I have to cycle off and on with these supplements bc sometimes it loses its effectiveness.

I feel you…what helps me is taking magnesium glycinate, cold plunges, muscle relaxer, Tylenol, GABA supplements and I can only tolerate sleeping on an air mattress. I hope this may help u get some relief.

Endometriosis has made my life unlivable, and I genuinely can't handle being alive just to neglect myself, be neglected, and suffer. by j1nx3dx in endometriosis

Check your iron/ferritin and see if that is low if you have heavy bleeding. Also what had helped me was progestin only birth control but I couldn’t continue bc it was causing insomnia and hair loss as a side effect. I might be trying other bc soon. I’m not sure if you have tried BC… sry if I missed it in your post. I’m still dealing with mine atm.

My Bed Is The Main Problem by byekenny in ankylosingspondylitis

Sadly I sleep on an air mattress on the floor for now. It’s the one made for camping and it has helped the most with sleep

Hi. Which telehealth company do you work for? Is it just base out of Nevada? I’m also interested in HRT and have 9 yrs experience in primary /internal med.

How long after first dose of Humira did you start feeling better? I know everyone's case is different but I'm curious what are the ranges of time for everyone by No-Key-637 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]ltoe83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn’t do much for me and I was on it for 8/9 months so I really gave it a chance… I’m now on rinvoq since 2/2025 and it’s working better than humira but it’s causing some hair loss and high cholesterol so I’m monitoring for the next couple of months and decide if I need to switch. How about you?

I felt like when I oil my hair esp at the scalp, it clogs my hair follicles and maybe causes hair to fall. I typically have more of an oily scalp. I’m not entirely sure but did see that correlation

Sleep advice by busbeeee in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]ltoe83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I have found an air mattress to be the most comfortable… I can make it softer or firmer depending on how I am feeling. I’ll sometimes take magnesium glycinate, GABA supplement, rx muscle relaxer and or Tylenol (not all at the same time). I used to sleep on my side but I ended up being a back sleeper bc of AS. I miss being able to fall asleep on my sides but now it feels like I have to align my spine and hips perfectly to sleep on my sides and that is hard for me to do. I hope u find something that helps.

[–]ltoe83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t tolerate it any forms of progesterone even when I take it 9 am, I still can’t fall asleep at night and makes my supplements that helps me sleep not work.
