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?
@tigerbeth That's rotten about the cramps, they are so painful and annoying. You might be right about the boots though. I wore my new boots yesterday (black patent leather, so heaven) and started to cramp last night. Try eating a banana and keep your fluids up.
@Sister 8pm to 4am is fantastic! Now if you could just jig that a couple of hours later... I'm still fighting with myself about going to bed early. I just can't do it! I'll try again tonight.
@tigerbeth Have you tried topical magnesium oil? Www.amazingoils.com.au I swear by it. Body only retains a small amount of magnesium in oral form. The oil is great for muscle and joint pain and I get a deeper sleep with it too.
Omg my nights have been shitty lately !! Back at work this week , cramps in my legs all night long !! Ive always suffered from cramps on & off ( thanks dad) , & have been taking magnesium which I thought was helping ! Not now ! Not sure if it is my new boots , standing up more or what ! Bloody annoying ! Got up last night @2.00 & I'm drenched in sweat !! Joy of joys !!! thought I'd dodged night sweats ,aparrently not !!!
@kmakm I had a dream I was at my final chemo and they forgot to put the cold cap on and all my remaining hair fell out.
I tend to to go to sleep well till about 2 or 3 and then I just kind of snooze for the rest of the night/morning. Just feel perpetually exhausted and all my muscles feel like I have climbed Everest!!
Ah, bugger @kmakm - those sort of dreams are not allowed.
@annsan Woo hoo - last chemo!
I had my 4th taxol yesterday - didn't get home till much later after picking kids up, then had tea, etc, etc. Fell asleep on the couch at 6pm, dragged myself up to bed around 8pm, slept until 4am!
