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."

helloooo ! I know I am very late again but such a lack of posts?
Tech issues?
I will just post this and see what happens
Cheers
ssshhhhh if you are sleeping. Sorry there appeared to be no one around earlier.
Not sure why. Persistent silence is unusual.
I will pop these here for when you need them
Cheers
A decided lack of posts. I am hoping site issues or phone issues and not OH issues
You were right the first time, it is or was a mushroom but now you've got me thinking!
Cheers
Evening/morning Shimmers, I've just popped in after a quite long session on AI discussing aspects of my forthcoming TULA on 18th Nov. I have found AI to be increasingly competent provided full context is given but I always double check info from other sources and, if necessary, pester medical professionals.
I've had the 2nd slice of birthday cake this evening. I could become an addict .
I hope you've had an ok day and that the two Gills are sleeping peacefully. You may be as well! Bed for me soon. xxx
Mmmm cake.
Unable to sleep due to bone pain. Made a lovely hot water bottle to try and ease it. This is only day 7 of my chemo journey and the knowing that things are going to get much worse is hard. But hey ho we have got to keep going. One day at a time.
Is there anybody out there....
