AWAKE.........

Hi all,

I have been reading this thread from the start. It has taken me a few weeks to realise what is bloody happening to me. (sometimes I am a bit slow on the uptake) I am having hot flushes and night sweats! I thought it must be the summer weather then I twigged. Waking up in the night, throwing the covers off... and then on and then off and then on...don't touch me!!! Getting up and stripping off..., sticky and sweaty (uuurgh). 

If it carries on at this rate we will need a breast cancer AWAKE club! Loving all the pics ...

Think we've already got a club going Gay! Sadly it seems it's a long term membership club! So I was trying to find a picture that would explain my experience today. I think this just about covers it.......sadly!!

I have felt a bit like this the past few days .. Can sleep for 2/3 hours then it's wide awake. Move to sitting room and try again no luck -- really difficult at times x

My turn for a moan, although it's my own fault. 

We went out for dinner with friends yesterday evening, and I ate far too much (although it was deeeelicious). So, I took my meds late and went to bed with a bulging tummy. Result - still awake at 4 am. So I got up and made some hot chocolate which did send me back to sleep but I woke up at 7.30, with dreadful indigestion. So now I'm fully awake and really grumpy from not enough sleep, drinking black coffee in an effort to get semi-functional. Meanwhile, hubby is still absolutely sound asleep grrr. 

I think I shall do a little light gardening - blowing a few autumn leaves perhaps - and then have a nanna nap. 

Not sleeping properly is a curse. 

Oh Lynn that's rubbish! But let's be honest, you just felt left out and wanted to be in our club  

Hope you are feeling a bit better now, as indigestion is just a nightmare.......although I think I would swap the flushes for indigestion if that was an option! 

Hope you manage to have a nap! Sending you a (((((((((BIG HUG)))))))) xxx

Think this was made for most of us........

I just wish I could enjoy longer than 2hrs at any one stretch!! Sending sweet dreams to everyone who needs them xxxx

I wish I could sleep too - been really upset tonight and think the reality of everything is hitting me sore ..

Aww,bless you Sue...I can't sleep either...

I am not sure to what you are referring when you say the reality is hitting you...but rest assured,it is healthy to have emotions of being upset...I'm afraid it is all part of cancer.try to think of some helpful wholesome things ,like what you can do which is rewarding for you...xx

Hi,I love the pics too...but can't work out how to get pictures onto posts...anyone able to tell me?i am quite simple so make it so I can understand X

Thank you Cannon  - I had a mastectomy with reconstruction a few weeks ago and it's all really feeling weird - sleeping is not great at the minute - I feel like someone else right now / I am sure this will pass - xx
