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."

  • Many thanks my lovely Heart eyes 

    It's all good now but I'll be more careful if I get that particular taxi sent again.

    Hugs and love sweetheart xxx

  • Evening Nathan Hugging and another warm welcome to our group.

    Sending you warmest hugs xxx

  • Evening Gill. I have the same problem with the taxis that are like a ring and ride. Nearly had an accident getting out of one. I hope your foot is getting better. Keep it rested and not too much house work.xxx

  • Evening Sonia Revolving hearts

    Thanks sweetie, but I've had my leg up for hours and it's fine now.

    Oh I cringe when those 8-seater  taxis turn up as it's a struggle getting in and out with being so short. Yep, I almost fell flat getting out of a normal taxi a while back as I got my foot trapped in the driver's seatbelt from behind his seat. They're either death traps or I'm the clumsiest sod going.

    It must be lovely to drive but the drawback is repairs. I knew you'd help Prince with the cost of his as you're a kind and loving mum.

    Bless you sweetheart xxx

  • Aww thank you Gill. He hasn't got alot of money. His rent and council tax come to more than 1000 a month. Then there is all the bills. I don't mind helping him out. You are not clumsy. I have heard a few people complain about those type of taxis.

  • Not too bad thanks Kez. Lots of frozen chips are helping!! Not as bad as it was this morning xx

  • Sonia, I'd do anything to help out my family too, as they're more important than money.

    Well I was complaining about the taxi carry on to my daughter at the weekend, so she set up a PayPal and Uber account on my phone. The trouble is I've not used it yet as I'm a bit wary of mucking something up. I'll definitely start very soon as it'll be much easier not having to root for change as it's paid up front.

    I'll let you know how it goes after I've tried it sweetie xxx

  • Welcome to the group Nathan. I live with myeloma that is also incurable. It's hard to know it will never go.

    Hope treatment is going ok for you.

  • I have got some savings Gill. My mortgage is paid up and no rent to pay. Don't forget to let me know how the user account goes. My son has an user account. He doesn't pay cash.
