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."

Well hello.
Got myself to club bingo. Three of us and didn't win.
Stressy set off to beach on mobility scooter, other pal went home and stupidly I asked the queue at bus stop for best bus to festival spot ... when I got off it I had to walk miles! Might as well have walked from club!
When I did get there I must have looked how I felt as Stressy was concerned . Had to have some medicinal Greek food before we left
Oh btw yes, Stressy was also de-dog hairing his house the other day. Sadly poor dog still got itch. Cause and solution still being saught.
Cheers
This wasn't taken taken today but is my coast
