Sitting here at 4:15am (CST) after trying since 2:30am to go back to sleep and finally giving up, yet again... Wondering who else is out there this morning, and most mornings at this time?
Made it though my day of work and now home, in bed, about to pop all my pills and hopefully have a decent sleep. I’ll take a temazepam if I’m awake in the morning - the panadine forte I’m about to take should be out of my system by then. @minimum67 my friend had dex rage too but I don’t feel anymore irritated than normal. Did u get Ativan when u did the cold cap at chemo. I took panadol osteo and forgot to take one yesterday before I went.
Im having chemo and in my 4th round of AC I realliesed the dex was affecting my sleep so I was allowed to have low dose Zyprexa whcih acts as a antinuaeea drug but it is also and antipsychoitc ( I felt I was havin mood swings, tears and rage on dex ) That helped with my sleep as well as Remifem for hot fu=lushes and then last night when I woke at 2:30 I took ativan which they is asedative used for the cold cap but they also said I could take it occasionally as a sleeper ...so last night I got about 9 hours...Horray hope these ideas might help others.
@kmakm I was tempted to take one too about 2.30am but I haven’t taken one before and didn’t want a sleeping tablet hangover today as well since I have to work.
@"Kiwi Angel" Horrible. I've had similar. Does not make for a good night's sleep at all. Sorry luv. And you @annsan. I could not get to sleep. Tossed and turned for an hour. Cancer cancer cancer running round in my brain. Ended up taking a Temazepam, first one in well over a month.
I had a dream about 2am that they found weird spots in my knee that they wanted to biopsy so then I spent the whole night tossing and turning and dreaming about cancer.
