Night Howls

@Kiwi Angel Well done! I had a good night too, with the aid of a benzo and two PanadolExtras for my aching legs. Off to the optometrist this morning for my first check in three years. Oncologist said to wait until a month or so after end of chemo. Shall see how my cataracts are going. Not good driving home in the dark last night after radiation - a late appointment. I've asked for an earlier one this afternoon and got it.0

@Flaneuse I have been taking 2 panadol osteo before bed for my arthritis and the 10mg melatonin - seems to be working. Good luck with your eyes today - I’ll have to get mine tested again soon - I’m not a fan of night driving at all either. xo0
-
I went to bed at a reasonable time - not 8pm! Slept until 1:30ish and woke up feeling really sick (like during chemo). Took an Ativan and went back to sleep until after 5am. Win!2

I had a pretty good nights sleep too apart from at 2.30am I woke to a light streaming through under my door. I got up and the outside door was open. I looked down the stairs and there was hubby, fully dressed, standing with about 6 watering cans all lined up full of water and he was talking openly to the power box! Too early to deal with such a stupid thing. I went back to my bedroom and closed the door with a pair of trackie dacks to block the light under the door. Slept till 8am.

I slept like crap last night. Too hot and waaay too many hot flushes. Not having quite so many tonight. Hope that continues for the next 10 hours...0

WTF Brenda? Sounds like one of you was still asleep!0

@Brenda5 what an interesting wake up call!!
i definitely think the stronger melatonin is working - went to sleep just before 10, hubby woke me up cause I was snoring (thought I stopped that since I got my nose hairs back!) and then slept right through with vague wake ups till my alarm woke me up at 5am. Feel like my hot flushes are subsiding a little too. Winning!!
@kmakm hope the flushes weren’t too bad and u got a decent nights sleep xo1 -
Sadly not @Kiwi Angel. One of them was so bad it was proceeded by a wave of nausea which was what woke me, that strong feeling that I was about to chuck. The moment I was fully conscious I realised I had a big one coming and about a minute later it hit. So I rode the wave and went to the loo. Sigh.0

@kmakm that sucks - I hate the ones that are preceded by nausea - luckily I don’t have too many like that xo0

I am not an early riser so when a hot flush wakes me at 6am I try to go back to sleep. It is not working today because there is a kookaburra sitting in the tree outside my bedroom window doing that pre-laughter gurgle noise. Repeatedly. But at random so there's no rhythm to settle into.
And my ankles are really bad this morning.
On the plus side I had a good hair day yesterday so you know, swings and roundabouts...0 -
Thanks @Kiwi Angel. I don't have too many of them either. Revolting.0
