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."

  • So worked up the courage to go back to bank. Booking in for chat I am told 'that's not your pin number!' what?

    Then a lovely woman sat and didn't know why payment declined, code unknown. So I still have account n money? 

    Cheers

  • Same. Couldn't top up leccy meter because whatever happened knocked shop guy's machine out. Gerr

    Then couldn't log in to OH's patient hub to access appointment letters so spent forever trying, got really cheesed off, went nuts and then turned on OH cos sick of his complacency, passivity and any other y going. Patience was stretched and snapped and don't think there's strong enough cotton to mend it. See how i feel in the morning. 

    Reading some posts looks like I'm not the only one. Hey bally ho...

  • Travel tickets? Where to? Nosey time xxx

  • Then the madness began ... couldn't get in to account, non of my security worked,.trying to reset brought Google to the party who didn't want to play either and wanted password to reset password and wouldn't play anyway... delete everything, reinstall, refused info given seconds ago.... on and on until somehow an hour later I had an account again. 

    Declined payment? Card expired. It hasn't. Deleted it. No option to add card. Buy ticket to add card. I have not had the will to see if everyone else with my card details think it's expired;

    Cheers
