Hello  everyone hope all doing well as you .

not been able to sleep is so difficult to cope with.

i have been going through this for past four years.

and all i can do at times is a crossword puzzle.

it helps the time go faster.

 To make things worse i had a zolendronic acid infusion for osteoporosis and i have all side affects you can get from it .

anyone had this any advice would be excellent.

sending wishes to all ..

Hiya

Hi Marshie 

It’s horrible when you can’t sleep-many of us are the same and chat in this thread here

Awake and up all night

I hope you’ve managed to get some sleep by now, but feel free to join in the chat on the thread I’ve linked above any time.

I'm up now. You're right. It's torture

Don't think I've slept more than 2 hours a night since my 2nd diagnosis 3 weeks ago... Not so much from worry from from an eagerness to start my palliative chemotherapy 

Developed proper INSOMNIA

My wife just been diagnosed with cervical cancer, she is in constant state of pain. 

I'm UP 24h - watching & checking....
