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 Gill H 
The vac is a Vax air stretch pet Max I think. Good for pet hair it claimed and well I pull enough of it out of the dust canister 
It is more substantial than skinny stick ones but still very light and stands up by itself..OK end of advert.
Err I need to shout again! OI! YOU LOT! Listen up! Regular folk have no idea, NONE! of the personal resources involved in cancer journeys. The 'what?s', the 'ifs', the 'really?s', the 'again!s: ... physical, metal and emotional marathons and boxing matches ... however, I will kick anyone up their aching backside who forgets it for themself!
You! yes, you! I know how it happens, we get through the next thing and the next thing and we don't know how but we do, and the next thing, and there is still washing up and the bin needs putting out.
Stop believing the hype... yes we are incredible but we are fragile. We are operating in a very thin shell which protects us but it is not crush proof, fire proof, crack proof so please stop testing it to destruction.
Ok I have stopped shouting ahem. It is very acceptable to feel vulnerable, unsure, reluctant to poke our noses outside our front doors whilst wanting to do so many everyday things just to prove to ourselves that we can.
Props are great. You can just stand outside your front door with a long handle sweeping brush, or pair of secateurs if you've got a bush. Don't have to really do anything. Stay for as few or many minutes as you like.
Cheers
Evening again Shims 
️ my tasks are almost done for today, then exactly the same again tomorrow. I'm channelling Bill Murray but not acting a part. I'd love a groundhog as they're so cute.
Anyway, to your first post - yes ma'am, message understood.
Well it sounds like things are ok as per Scooterless but I'm assuming mounjaro or the other one was denied so what are the pills about? xxx
Hello. Do you feel like a 
on a wheel?
The pills ... remember before fat jabs were all rage? Diet pills were a thing. You could buy them OTC and were advertised on tv. Some GPs issued them. Scooterless mentioned them way back and I dismissed them with a 'they cause slurry, so no unless you want brown drawers all day.
Stressy asked how today's pills work and yes they basically cause diarrhea... they effect the transit of food through your system.
I would have thought getting his system working properly was the priority. What is the point of choosing kidney friendly, arthritis friendly grub if you chemically induce 
?
Ok I have stopped.
So how is OH other than mucusified?
Cheers
I'm unsure if I'm meant to laugh or not, but laugh I did 
Laxatives are available OTC at all chemists if that's what was basically on offer.
But silly GP. That's my final word on that, for now.
We used to have hamsters but they got off their wheels when they'd had enough going round in the same loop, the lucky little darlings.
Mount Mucous has become dormant again after a final eruption around 10.15pm, and I've not heard anything more for a good half hour so I could be off the hook now.
Fingers crossed

Julie2468 I know you're lurking so come join in 
I don't bite ... honest. ,
Well I am sure the pills were meant to make you think somehow they were burning or melting fat! but folk complained of leakage!

Cheers
