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."

It sounds good Uki, but not for us.
It started off early in my case; mam told me I spat out anything coated in gravy so twigged and realised I'd eat anything that was dry. OH admitted he only tolerated it out of politeness when his plate was swamped.
On a different level my ex-husband didn't like it either - do you think it could have been reluctant vibes picked up from me as I always offered to make it? It probably would have tasted like poison but saved a job in the prep.
Shopping time now but no gravy granules are on the list.
Big hugs my lovely xxx
