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."

Ah right I get it now Gill the main thing is that you are happy. I have seen a photo of your house and it looks gorgeous.xxx
Sounds like you are not that remote as you have shops close by. I don't think we Evershot with our houses. Mine has been put on hold for a while.xxx
Shimmers, no reply needed but hoping you kick the symptoms off ASAP. Although I do not feel too bad, since yesterday my eyes have felt gritty, nose dripping, sneezing a lot and just a hint of feeling sick. Motivation to do things has gone into negative figures. Not sure what that last one means. Perhaps I should destroy a to-do list . Weather is wet and breezy. Nothing too exciting. xxx
Aye, that is irritating. I gave up with password entry over a year ago, instead using my Google account to log in.
Stick with us if you can. The chaps and chapesses in the engine room may find some answers to the various problems soon. xxx
