Ideas on sleep
The things you don't know and they don't tell you. I wish there was some way to really deal with the lack of sleep. Getting to sleep and staying asleep now seem to be my greatest challenge in life. ...
I am having so much trouble getting to sleep, when I do eventually drift off, I manage about 4 hours then I'm awake again. My oncologist prescribed a heavy duty sleeping tablet which did not suit me because I was pretty vague throughout the following day. My GP has prescribed a lighter one and I've improved a little. I didn't realise this was common after treatment, I am on Arimidex which causes sleeplessness. Between a rock and a hard place really:( I have recently returned to work, so I can see this becoming a bigger problem. Sorry I haven't been of any help, just thought I'd write and empathise with you, take care,
