Has anyone experienced very vivid and intense nightmares while having BCG treatments?
I've only had my first dose this morning and I've had really nasty intense dreams while I napped in the afternoon and just now as I've gone to bed.
I've only been asleep 45 mins and I've woken up again shouting in my sleep and come round suddenly very confused and a bit freaked out, not sure if I'm still dreaming and my heart racing.
I've seen online that it can happen in very rare cases and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
Eeek!
