Are you having trouble sleeping?

Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.

“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

Hi Dingg

Don't you ever apologise for anything my lovely, and you rant as much as you like as this is the best place to do it. Better here than upset your nearest and dearest as we don't take offence.

I'm hoping hubby's temperature comes down soon lovey - thank goodness he was on the spot so they can keep tabs on it. We're all hoping for a better day for you both sugar, so take care and fingers tightly crossed xxx

I'll check out Capstick Comes Home xxx

Hey Uki ️ I read your post while I was in town, then smirked my way round Tesco's thinking about it! Folks must have thought I was either the happiest person in the world or plain nuts - probably the latter.

Oh, and I wiped me feet before I left the store, so a head's up for other crackpots here xxx

Hello Gill. Your last message to Dinng has been repeated on the last 3 pages. It is similar to the triplicates of a few of my messages a day or two ago. I'm not a software whizz kid but wondered if this is a problem with Mac compatibility or a forum issue. Not a huge problem and trivial compared to the real issues we discuss here, but if a forum champion has noticed this reported elsewhere perhaps it could be mentioned to the lads and lasses who keep the forum engines running? xxx

Hi Ray

Thanks for that hon, but I didn't notice as I use my phone. Like you said it's probably an issue with the site if it's doing the same for others. The only thing I've encountered lately is having to log in when told I'm not a member of the group - I thought it was my phone playing up again but possibly not.

Is it like carpet world at yours now, or shouldn't I ask if things went awry? I really hope not my lovely xxx

Thanks Gill yes unfortunately the hospital dont allow tents in grounds . I thought I would ask Nicola Sturgeon if I could borrow her motor home though haha

Gill H 5 months ago in reply to Former Member

Can we borrow Nicola's motorhome after you, Titan? It'd probably be better than our house as it's visible from space! xxx

Hello Brian, I am using a Macbook Air, running Sonoma 14.8.7 which is the latest current version. I have captured page 1135 in two sections to show the mix of older and very recent messages which have popped up. Let's see if I can attach them for you.

Hmm. Probably better ways of doing it, but the first shot is higher up on page 1135 to show the strange timing of messages on display, the 2nd shot shows further down the page to include the page numbers.
