Sorry to hear it's not getting any better, maybe tomorrowÂ
Xxxxxx
Take a deep breath ... then on with the day.
I hope so Bobles2, but I don't think anything is going to improve until I am off of these drugs! But I can hope.
Thanks for caring, sorry to see you are awake at this time too! Unless you aren't UK based! In which case it might be daytime for you!Â

Morning all, hope everyone managed to get some sleep!!
Puuuurrrrrrrrrrfectly said I think! Now to survive today and Thursday then it'll be the WEEKEND, for me anyway! Boy do I need one!
Okay I have cooled down and stopped dripping, now for a bit more sleep......I hope xxxxx
Thanks Lynn, a few people have mentioned those patches to me, do I will definitely ask! I'll give anything a go!
Hope you like the koala pic! It was just for you! Hope you are doing okay! I'm sure you'll enjoy another good nights sleep! Feel free to come on later and tell me
 Clearly it's me that gets the annoying side effects! It's an ongoing thing! During Chemo when you have steroids, they cause most people to stay awake! I slept the best I had in months during those weeks! Weird I know
But I will find something that helps with sleep and pain without causing more issues......its just taking longer than I would like! Xxx
I thought the koala pic was funny. You do realise, I hope, that they're actually nasty bad tempered little shits that piss on you if you pick them up. Cute looking though. Mmmmm I've known men like that ....
I just had a 3 hour nap. I'm suffering from an inability to stay awake with this drug. I don't like it much, but it does keep the pain at bay. Hopefully will only need it for another 24 hours. And I haven't had a poo since Saturday, which isn't that great lol. (it being now Wed evening).
Steroids and I do not get on at all. They're basically what caused all my problems during chemo - atrial fibrillation, pulmonary embolisms and diabetes. Not much I can do about that though.
Hope your day goes well.
Not sure you have it there, but can highly recommend Laxido! It is very gentle but certainly gets things moving! Xx
Think I might need another box of tissues, or a kick up the bum and told to stop being so pathetic xxx
I find Radio 4 very soporific
in case you haven't tried that yet

I could give you a kick up the bum........... but that would add to the pain, so I really can't do that. How about I make you laugh and provide some tissues?
