When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

Histamine was a little off my radar, but I researched a bit on what some of my trusted functional practitioners had to say. I think that if you already know antihistamines help you sleep, then you are on the right track to take a dietary/supplement approach to that very issue. I don't have that experience to share but that is my personal opinion.
One thing I have done to cultivate good sleep, for over 3 years now, is to block blue light after it gets dark outside. Not only from computer and device screens, but also fluorescent lighting. Our bodies cannot make melatonin correctly if they think it's always daytime. Yellow lenses work for me if I have to drive out grocery-shopping after dark; darker amber colored when I'm relaxing with a movie or surfing the net. When you are ready to close your eyes, make sure the room is as dark as you can get it.
You can try supplementing melatonin. If you supplement magnesium and/or D3, take those at night. Lavender is great for inducing sleep. Christine makes a great combo from lavender and hops (I think it's on Vulva-Vaginal Health video) that you take a few whiffs of at bedtime. I sometimes shower in the evening with lavender soap. I also have some little inhalers that are just essential oils in various combo's selected for various situations like stress, mood, insomnia, and lucid dreaming. I don't know if they help or not, but they don't hurt.
Don't eat within 2-3 hours of bedtime. Your digestive tract gets a rest, which will help you sleep. - Surviving

Thank you
This is very helpful. I do make sure my phone screen is yellow but I need to get some special glasses because others in my home use lots of light at night that’s blue.
I use a diffuser in my room at night. I’ll try the lavender.
I take cod liver oil daily but will take it at night for the D3 at night.
I am going to go ahead and apply diet and supplement advise to the histamine issue. Like you, when I did some reading it looks worth trying but I just wondered if I was imagining things.
Thank you this is very helpful.
And no, I do not do well with late night eating. Or even too much snacking. My body likes breaks between meals.
