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."

    Hope you're all doing well and Cardiff didn't take too much of a battering my lovely. 

    A combination of my new phone not being user friendly enough yet, site issues and bigger ones with OH have put me off a bit, but hopefully things will be back on track soon. 

    Keep yourself snuggled up sweetheart and have a lush evening. Big hugs chicken xxx HuggingHuggingHugging

  • sssshhh hopefully some are sleeping. The wind here is much quieter.

      you seem to be regrouping? Have a sticky Starand a magma cooling Ice cream

      I know you are good at your accounts, I was hoping MABS would be clued up on benefits and allowances. I am unfamiliar with ROI agencies or their credibility.

      hi you may be snoozing but can you describe the difficulties you are having accessing the site? The tech bods like specifics! Thanks it is a pain in the whatsit but also distressing when those seeking support find it ... unhelpful. I will stop there.

    Cheers 

  • Evening Shimmers as I think you're about Wave

    About stocking up...you can tell the team to put the knuckle dusters back in the store cupboard as a peace treaty has been signed here. I wouldn't mind cake, pomegranate juice, croissants and kayli please. An eclectic mix but I couldn't half murder those right now Yum

    Hey, flatwatch news, fingers crossed Fingers crossed

    A ground floor 2 bed apartment, about a 2 minute walk into town, popped up on my alert today so I sent an email and they'll arrange a viewing, hopefully. Watch this space but don't hold your breath. Our luck isn't anything to hang the bunting out for at the moment.

    Hugs and hope you're feeling more with it now hon xxx
