Sleep
That's one thing that is eluding me at the moment. I just can't sleep! First I thought it was my sore head, shaved my head on weekend, very emotional, but glad it's over and done with. Thought my head would feel better, but it's still so tender. Does that happen to a lot of the ladies? It's red and itchy also. I have been using sorbolene on it.
I went out shopping in a pretty pink scarf and it was fine, I love my scarves, I got a couple from gotcha covered online and they are so pretty.
Have any of you ladies had problems sleeping? I have never had problems in the past, and it's frustrating me!
Chemo again on Thursday, then there is only 4 to go!
Hope you wonderul ladies are having a great day.
Love Penny

Hi there, I too had awful problems sleeping and it was the dex that kept me up at night, I too had tremaze to help with the sleep, but I also took advantage of the evenings I couldnt sleep and felt well to catch up on my correspondence and as it was this time of year to get my christmas sorted.
Moo Goo is the most fabulous thing! I also tried the new Optiderma and it was good too.
Good luck on your journey, Im now 2 years post diagnosis and looking forward to my first christmas with my 3 year old grandson.

Hi Penny
Hi Penny
I am up to Number 5 tomorrow. I also have problems with sleeping patterns and you are right it is very annoying. I take the Dex which hypes me up but then I take Avitan which helps with Nausea and sleep. When I stop the Avitan on about day 6 I have problems sleeping. My Oncol suggested that I take some more Aviatn when I have problems sleeping but I try not to as it might prolong the sleeping problems.
I am hoping when the chemo stops the sleeping might improve again.

- Thanks Kathryne Xx
Hey Penny
I used the Moo Goo to on my head and it is good, I was also given Tamaze to help me sleep and they work a treat. Good Luck

Hi Penny,
I am so glad that the moo goo helped.
Hope you get some well needed sleep tonight before tomorrow, I have my fingers crossed for you.
Take Care.

- At the moment I don't like anything on my head, fortunately I have been at home so just going bald. Even a cotton scarf drives me crazy! Xxxx
- I bet you will rock that silver hair, you have a gorgeous face! Xxxx
- The moo goo is fantastic, went out last night to get some, didn't want another itchy sore sleepness night. Just had the sleepness night! Will ask the onc tomorrow about that. Thanks again xx
- Hi, my oncologist prescribed Temaze for sleep. He said the Dexamethazone would hype me up, so I should take 2 or 3 of these on the Dex days, and it was great. They don't give you a hangover like some sleep medications. Love Chris xx
