Anyway I thought I could assist in one of your requests.........

JUST FOR YOU, night night xxxxxxx

Nice as it is to hear from you Londonlass,I was hoping not to read a message from you until the morning telling us all what a lovely sleep you have had

Anne

Thanks Anne, but think it might be a while before I leave this 'club' completely! Things have improved and that's good enough for me! Sal xx

So how was your night in the end @londonlass. 

BTW I'm so glad to know your real name. xxx

Morning Lynn, how do I put this.........

Firstly the positives, NO full on hot flushes/sweats! I had a few flushes but minor ones that were sorted by kicking off my sheet, those I can deal with and it was a particularly warm night last night! 

BUT

The nightmare that is Acid Reflux returned! Strangely enough I had it yesterday afternoon while I was napping. But then again last night! Not much fun and keeps me awake for a good few hours before it settles! I will discuss it with my Palliative Nurse, if it continues. It's not been a problem while I've not been sleeping, so I assume it might be connected to when I go into a deep sleep! 

Hopefully it's something that can be easily sorted! 

The other issue is I had to take 4 doses of the liquid morphine yesterday for breakthrough pain, I was pretty uncomfortable all day. BUT even with the pain I felt better, as I got through the day with minimal flushes and NO drowning in sweat! So I feel happier than I have in a long long time!

Just wish they had listened to me 3 weeks ago, when I first mentioned it! 

Think today is going to be a hot and sticky day, but it will for everyone not just me!

Sending you a (((((((((((BIG HUG))))))))) Hope you get a good nights sleep! I'm guessing being too warm, isn't a problem with you right now! Well not from the weather anyway! Xxxxx

mmm sounds like there's some progress. Clearly the oxycodone didn't suit you. I don't like the sound of acid reflux though, that can be unpleasant. I had quite a bit of that during and after chemo but it seems to have gone fortunately. 

It was -3 here last night so heat isn't a problem - I have solved that I think. I use my very light summer duvet with a throw rug over the top and feet sticking out. Just the right amount of warmth to avoid the flushes. 

Actually, I have nothing to complain about today so I'm a bit boring lol.

Big hug

I expect someone will pop up today to help you , but I just thought I would say that morphine type meds slow the normal contractions of stomach muscles and reflux is a well known common problem .....unfortunately ...!  You might need a ppi type drug , try to sort it before it gets bad enough to affect your oesophagus ....best wishes ,,,,,
