Awake and up all night

Yes that makes sense.

He says his mouth is very dry with it so l bring ice cold bottles of water as he can only swill his mouth with it and cant swallow. But it is helping he skills his mouth a fair bit.

Hope you are ok there.

Thanks for the reply appreciate  it and its grounding advice, it has to be strong stuff to do the job.

Swills l mean 

Yes, dry mouth sounds very familiar and I also get a scratchy throat,  sometimes an annoying sniffle, achy joints, stomach ache, lots of things. Yes, it's strong stuff but does the job xxx

Oh gosh. I am so glad he's ok.

Life is like a rollercoaster at times.

With hubby we've been through a lot of issues with his other health things he has aortic stenosis and bicuspid valve which will one day need open heart surgery. He just had the all clear from the heart surgeon that he wont need heart surgery for a few years with any luck and all this happened a week later.

Life is a journey of challenge for sure at times.

And l hope you are doing ok with your treatment and so glad your son had you there and he's there for you x

After all that has been going on with your health my kidney cancer 4 years ago is not a issues because all that i have read tonight on the page all ov you are such brave people so I will ask a few questions since I have had the problems with my health i have had a lot of problems with the pain i had it was very painful so since then i have been taken codeine tablets for the last 4 years so how do you stop taking them how do you get of them so you can feel normal this is so nice that I can say this to you lovley people thank you xxxx 

hello milkey nice to meet you . have you still got the pain? the best thing to do is ask your gp he will be able to get you to cut down slowly. sorry i cant be more help but sending you all my best wishes.

Milkey, some of the more powerful painkillers can be addictive. They are very effective but sometimes more difficult to stop taking. However, always talk to your doctor before changing any of your medication. It is nice when you feel you can ask for medication to be eased off.   When I had morphine based painkillers in hospital they worked at first then started to make my kidneys ache, so I asked for an alternative, hoping for whiskey. No such luck.  Best wishes. Ray

Been there done that. 

Thanks soc iv been trying to stop talking the pain killers iv been on them for so long how do you stop talking then I think I'm starting to find out what to do because I'm speaking to people that I have never met before so thank all of you xxxx
