For Glinda47: I know how you feel!! My doctor gave me a short term prescription for a “”sleeping pill” and it gave me horrible nightmares! No more sleeping pills for me!
So I thought I would try a “natural” remedy, Melatonin.
Took it at bedtime with a half of my pain pill and I was sleepwalking into walls on the way to the bathroom! Which is why I no longer use melatonin.! When I take a pain pill at bedtime, this sometimes helps me sleep. Or I will do some reading or put on a movie— that works for me and I have a huge movie collection. Physical relations usually works too if I’m not having pain! 😍

lol. That would be natural relief. Just at your age hard to imagine nightly. 🙂

Glad you found something that works!
Knowing you have a pill that won't affect you negatively like the other two is often enough to help you relax. The reading or movie often helps me too. I also watch ASMR videos for the last decade actually. They used to help more...I need a break!
LOVE that you and your husband still enjoy an intimate relationship...also saw your note below about backrubs and massages. Oh so wonderful to have that closeness.
