@InkPetal I’m 100% behind you with the no sleep problem. I’ve had a back procedure in hospital yesterday and even though I was sedated for it ( usually that would have me sleeping well for 24 hrs) I’m wide awake now as it has stirred up the pain. I rang the hospital to get advise on pain meds as per their flyer instructions but was advised to ring nurse on call. When I pointed out that nurse on call would not have my records and my pain relief options are limited by heart issues caused by chemo, I got told that I can’t speak to a doctor unless I come in ($200 thanks) and so I was reluctantly put through to a nurse who was lovely but told me to take whatever I had (Tramadol or Palexia) without even asking my name or checking my file to see what else I’ve already been given in the last 24 hours.
Before BC I could sleep through anything but now I sleep so lightly that anything can keep me awake. It’s yet another little extra that no one mentions until your feeling like a sleep deprived zombie.
@InkPetal and @Zoffiel I hope you both get some rest soon. Take care ladies.😀
