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."

Aw lovely to hear and I'll bet Archie loved being out with you. It's a long time since I've been able to do that so you enjoy it while he's still a little 'un. They grow up so quickly
It's been nice and quiet this weekend hon, just the way we like it
Enjoy Midsummer Murders - we're watching part 4 of a drama series, then just the evening stuff to get done.
Enjoy your peace and quiet my lovely. It's lush xxx
Must get my butt here earlier. Phone died then 3,000 notifications.
How is you?
Cheers
Doing ok hon I've figured out one of the glitches. Give me a few mins and I'll reveal.
If you want to type a post go ahead whilst I do this one xxx
No bingo. Bingo is Scooterless's thing ... I would still go but couldn't find the oomph!
Stressy excuse is needing to finish his art piece for submission date!
Cheers
Ooh do reveal ... err the glitch! Not sure I could handle the excitement of owt else
Cheers
Right, so I'm unsure if this only happens when using phones, but say you've written a post with typos and send it, then correct the typos straight away when it appears, it prevents the replyee from sending theirs until the corrected post has gone through whatever, ergo preventing replyee going further with theirs and it disappears before their very eyes.
Replyee then has to go to previous page, come back to current page and if corrected post is back on page, then by pressing 'reply' lost post might reappear.
None of this worked other night as I got kicked out and couldn't get back in for almost an hour and posts couldn't be retrieved.
Work that load of crap out xxx
Eloquently put.
I get cross at the 'corrected after sent' tosh and do want to pounce on it. I also think very short posts are handled better.
Neither of these things are conducive to offering out of hours support!
Cheers
