    My kids named Storm. What we didn't know when we picked him up from the shelter and they were choosing his name, was that there was a wild storm happening at our house.

    @Kiwi Angel Not yet. The Magnesium chelate is doing the job at the moment. It's driven the pain down to bearable levels. Unless it's subsiding anyway. I shall come off it in a few weeks and see what happens.

    Wide awake at 3am - finally decided to get up at 5 - very annoying.

    Slept from 9pm until 5:30am (with a short wake up at 2am) with the help of codeine a couple of hours before bed then 2 temazapam.

    @sister that’s a great sleep. I meant to try a temazapam last night but forgot!

    @Sister that is a great way to get through some post chemo hours - unconscious!! May you have many more nights like that coming up until you are through the worst of it. x

    Hello @Sister what great news,  I hope
    that you are recovering well after your last chemotherapy
    treatment.  



    'Who else cant sleep?'  This
    has been an amazing thread started by yourself @Sister    . Can you believe it was on 23 February!  The thread has
    had 10.7K views and 1.2k comments which is over 80 online pages of discussion!



    This has been a really great and valuable
    discussion and I am aware of how much of an issue lack of sleep is for our
    online community.  I certainly dont want to stop discussion regarding
    sleep but will need to close this thread as Im sure you will all agree it is just
    as its too long.      We have had feedback from members that they can find it difficult to
    find information as the posts are very long and often include lots of different
    topics. We are going to be a bit more diligent about keeping posts shorter on
    track so you will notice us splitting or closing discussions a bit more (don’t
    worry, we won’t close them in the middle of interesting discussion!)



    So that new and current members can find
    information about how best to manage sleeplessness, Im going to review the
    posts in this discussion and compile a tip sheet  from our online
    community.  I would encourage you to continue this discussion     in new threads as I know it’s such an important issue and
    concern for you.  We will also provide the
    link to the Can-Sleep information from the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre as soon as its available.  

    Below is some information regarding sleep, that I found on Cancer Council New South Wales website.
