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."

Oh well done Ray, and I'm so pleased you've done that hon, as hopefully you'll soon know whether the problem can be easily solved.

Hello Ray (RayMK)
How on earth do non-computer savvy patients manage?
Ah - I know the answer to that.
Last year I was leaving our GP's after my diabetic appointment and there was a lovely old lady in reception. All of 5 foot, well dressed and looking at her you would have thought someone's loving grandma.
No - she was banging he walking stick on the reception desk and shouting "No I haven't got the f****ng ape on my 'phone, no I haven't even got a f****ng mobile 'phone, neither have I got an appointment, now all I want is to see a f****ng GP".
From that I gathered she wasn't into modern technology and I assumed she had a medical issue - I don't know the outcome, I thought the safest place was anywhere but reception.
You could use her tried and trusted method - after all don't you have 2 sticks?

Kind regards - Brian. (type 2 diabetic HbBA1c = 41 acceptable for this patient)).
