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."

  • I hang on to the chair armrests then take a Gaviscon Grinning.  xxx  

  • I am glad to hear that the worst has passed, and that you still have power. 

    We are now in an amber warning for 24 hours, and they are saying there could be more wind Monday night into Tuesday. 

    Stay safe and warm everybody. xx

  • Evening Ray. I have loads of gaviscon. Heartburn is painful. 

  • Evening folks. I have read through the chat. I can see that folk are l having major site issues.

    I have indeed now  been contacted by Jamie tech bod who apologizes for the apparent delay in response but he had asked the engineers to look at things first. 

    He then would like if possible details of specific incidents, date, time, screenshots etc 

    I have not responded as yet. Are folk who regularly use other bits of the forum having issues there too?

    I still think him grabbing a phone and coming to play in the dark would be most illuminating Joy

    Cheers

  • Thanks for all the get well wishes ... medicinal Ice cream and paracetamol and wads of tissue formed into nostril bungs... nit attractive but effective.

    The germs probably love them, jiggy party central but I cannot be doing with sandpapering  off my nose and getting through half a rainforest of paper.

    Cheers

  • Evening Shimmers Relaxed️ 

    How are you feeling now hon?

    I've just been reading tonight so I don't miss posts that hide when I post, like last night's hide n seek jiggery pokery. 

    Hoping you're destressed and medicated on any flu/cold potions xxx

  • Wave  feeling rough but will probably live. Watched 2 'Halloween' films and a Spanish The Blacksmith and the Devil'

    Cheers

  • Definitely wild and windy tonight. One of my favourite poets Dylan Thomas. Under Milk Wood read by Richard Burton - can't beat it. Pippin a bit soggy tonight. Loads of love Uki.

  • Ooh sounds good. A couple of slasher fillums on Sky atm but seen em both so gave em a swerve. 

    What I'd really like to see are crashing gigantic waves, but nowt on offer being marooned inland. 

    Bet you've got some xxx

  • Siiiigh! Tech. Remember I went bank Wednesday to migrate account and they couldn't make it work and it was 'my' problem? Thursday total pain n fibro flare but Friday morn decided was going to wellness cafe anyway.

    Tried buy travel ticket online, declined. Scream what? Why? Immediate stress out, catastrophizing ... had my funds been appropriated, seized? News full of Internet been the world's open book.

    Cheers
