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."

Yes lovely, the same here and it'll be Christmas before we know it.
Aw sorry to hear about your arthritis hon - I think many of us oldies are in the same boat with it.
Hope the paracetamol works quickly and that's another reason to rest and relax. Big hugs coming for you xxx
Thanks Gill.
I am doing okay, not looking forward to Monday. It’s not something that anyone would though.
Wishing you loads of luck for getting a new place. Yeah, definitely get away from the neighbours. They sound like a total nightmare.
Have a lovely night. xx
Thanks so much Kez. I'm absolutely certain new neighbours couldn't get any worse than the current ones.
Totally agree about Monday hon, but it will come and hopefully bring with it a sense of calm and peace afterwards.
Sending all my love and best wishes for the day xxx
