Well, blow me over with a feather! 8mg of dex before bed and I slept like frigging LOG! Go figure!
And I only got up once for the loo (albeit sweat-soaked) when it's usually at least 4 times in the night.
Woke up feeling amazing! This is the ONLY kind of recurrence that I ever want to experience - fingers crossed!
and yes @tigerbeth - I have contemplated that pillow many times hahahaha
I also found this today and wanted to share it with all of you out there who are finding it hard to sleep due to joint pain

Got back last night and even with the fire lit straight away, the house is so bloody cold. I've just put more wood on and I'm sitting next to it hugging a wheat bag and a hot mug. For once, I was woken by legs aching from cold.
@Eastmum Dex never had the hyper effect on me that it seems to have on everyone else. Hope your managing the side effects okay.0 -
Managed to get back to sleep sometime after 4. Didn’t hear hubbys alarm go off and it was a real trial to drag my ass out of bed.0

Dreamed I had throat cancer. Diagnosis, xrays, the shock, telling people, talking to doctors, demanding an MRI, the whole bloody thing. Woke up three times and went back to sleep twice only for the dream to pick up where it had left off. I'm not going to try to sleep any more. It was horrible. What is that all about?? Bloody hell...0

oh Kmakm I did that a few times after my treatment finished I think it is our minds processing all the Stressors we have been through .... HUGS I found If I got up and had a read for a while or meditated it helped.

@kezmusc I was thinking of u yesterday and was wondering how u were going. I was going to start on Monday but had just come off the fluid tablets so wanted to see how my ankles were as the tamoxifen can cause swelling to so I wanted to know what was causing what. Going to start on Monday, can’t put it off any longer

Oh @kezmusc I am so sorry to hear that. I thought your strategy to come off everything and start afresh with a clean slate was a good one. With AIs there seems to be a view that the side effects can settle after six months. What's the word on Tamoxifen? And, is an AI a possibility if you give up on the Tamoxifen, or do you have to wait until menopause? Is having your ovaries out an option/something you'd consider? This is all such a bloody bugger of a thing.
