My friend has been suffering with CFS for 20 years and managed somehow to carry on working although it has been a real struggle. Now she's starting the menopause and the night sweats on top of the trouble she already has sleeping is impossible. She has tried Black Koash type things and now the doctor has suggested Clonodine although she doesn't know what impact that'll have on the CFS. Has anyone else struggled with this, found anything that helps? I think it would help her to hear of others struggles even if you don't have a miracle cure, although obviously that would be great!

Your friend could try an herbal remedy called... DEEP SLEEP.... It works for me. The main ingredients are Calif.Poppy and Valerian Root. Worth a try anyway. I get it at my local health food store.
