I am 48 and have been taking melatonin for 3 months. I take
1.5mg nightly. I have uninterrupted sleep with frequent vivid
dreams. I am noticing significant positive benefits with no
negatives. I have not had an arthritis flareup since I started
and the affected joints seem to feel better. My blood pressure
is back to normal and my blood chlorestorol is back down. I am
putting on muscle in my workout regimin and have elevated to a
new level. I have more energy, and generally feel much better,
both physically and mentally.
I sent some melatonin to my 74-year old father. He complained
of difficulty sleeping and a feeling of heat in his chest.
Then he saw the 20/20 program and was frightened out of
continuing taking melatonin.
My guess is the "heat" feeling is a reaction of your thymus
gland being stimulated by the hormone. Perhaps your thymus
was disabled by your disease. The thymus is very important to
your immune response. If this is true, then this "heat"
feeling should be indicative of the drug's beginning to
rejuvinate your body.
Maybe Jo Robinson can comment on this.
