Awake and up all night

Hi Helen  

Aw love, sorry to hear the dreaded lurgy is back, so I hope you're getting those naps in.

It's almost 20 years since I visited London and no way could we pack all the museums into the time we had there - everywhere was massive. My washer is on its final spin. I know I don't like summer but I'll be glad to peg out again. Get plenty of relaxing in when you can xxx

Hi Gill

I managed to have a nap this afternoon  and feel better for it. 

I know what you mean about the washing.

Good lass. Get your feet up when you can as it'll do you the world of good.

Washing - I'll have to buy a new prop as mine broke last year. Living the dream xxx

I hope you feel better soon. x

Hi I completed my breast cancer treatment in November last year.  Throughout this whole experience, once I had stopped taking any HRT, I have not been able to sleep.  Either I am wide awake until about 3.00 am or I go to sleep after about an hour and wake up at 3.00 am and unable to go back to sleep again.  I actually dread going to bed which I am sure doesn't make it any better.

I am well otherwise, but this is getting me down.  I have seen my GP and she is trying to help me, but is this likely to be anything to do with the Anastrozole that I am now on, and could an alternative sort this issue out?

Thank you

Hi KevinBear and a warm welcome to our ever growing group of insomniacs!

Does the paper inside the box of Anastrozole mention issues with sleep? If not, tell whomever prescribed it about your concerns and maybe they will look at an alternative.

It is difficult, trying to get back off once you've woken up, and the more you try the less likely it is you'll succeed. My tips are rubbish as they don't even work for me, but others have provided some that could work for yourself. Maybe read back a few pages and see what you think hon xxx

Hi Jamie  sending you the very best of luck for your appointment tomorrow, and wishing for the best possible outcome for you and your OH. Big hugs to you both xxx

Thank you

You're very welcome love xxx

Thank you. I am nervous and all the other feelings on top. So sleepless night I think. I will let you know the outcome. Hope you are keeping well too. 

Welcome to the group Kevin bear. Sleep is a bad part of this journey. Lucky my GP was really supportive and gave me some short term meds to help. Which I have only taken 1 in the last 6 days. As I only need then for the last resort. Hope you find a solution but with sleep its a trial and error for what works best for individuals xx
