My husband has had chronic myeloid cancer for 2 years. He has been described as a complicated case and as yet no permanent care plan he is due to start his third drug end of the month. I just hate the feeling of being unsettled all of the time and our life seems to be shrinking around us we have to work around his constant fatigue breathlessness and feeling down. I'm self employed and have put a full working week into 3 days so I can have more time at home. It's selfish of me but I'm absolutely exhausted I'm not depressed just anxious all of the time and have found myself not sleeping properly most nights he can sleep 12 hours straight bless him even though he is still tired the next day! Does anyone else out there caring feel the same or have any ideas on how to get a whole night's
Hi
Sorry to hear about your husband, I can certainly remember the days of lots of hospital appointments and the waiting for something to happen - even if you us that is now quite a few years in the past.
Something that really helped me was doing a living with less stress course. An element in that was conscious breathing and being able to use that to help me get off to sleep. I did speak to my GP at one point and ask if I could get anything to help but he was a bit reluctant since I take quite a few tablets already and he was concerned about possible interactions.
<<hugs>>
