Who else can't sleep?

Hey there @Sister , you'll be fine. Take along some nice  tea or coffee  of your own and anything else you might fancy. I went for salt  and vinegar  chips which I had  to just suck, as  crunching them up caused bleeding gums, but the sharp taste was what I liked. The hair thing is a bit strange,  isn't it? I was totally bald north and south...felt like  I was ten again!!! My arm and leg hair went  next and eyelashes, one by one and lastly the eyebrows. For me, the biggest pain without eyelashes, was cat hair getting  into my eyes. You don't realise how much dust and  fluff and other such stuff your lashes keep out, till you have none. All the hair is  now mostly back, but my underarms still have nothing, and very sparse on my legs. When the hair started to regrow, at first I looked like a startled yeti, very fluffy peach down covered my arms, like lanugo on a prem baby.

Woke at 3am, gave up at 4am.  Off to get AC No. 3 today.  Still packing it after my first go went so badly.  I know it'll be okay but I won't relax until it's done.  At least no cold caps today - hubby is going to clip me when we get home.  BTW, has anyone noticed how bizarre the hair loss is?  I've still got most of my eyebrows and lashes but the fine hair on my face is all but gone; the hair on my arms is still as usual but almost all gone on the rest of my body.

@SoldierCrab @Londog I have just this afternoon emailed my oncologist about magnesium.

please check with Oncologist etc before taking any magnesium oil etc it is good but can interfere with some chemos. 

I hope that happens for you, too @kmakm.  Welcome to the underworld @londog  Maybe we'll see you at 3am! 

I crochet, or undo previous crochet.  The colours soothe me.  Magnesium oil has also been good.

@sister I'm desperately hoping that as the chemo drugs leave my system some of these sleep issues will resolve.

Righr there with ya, @kmakm!

Oh lordy @zoffiel! The things that are sent to try us...

Epic fail again on sleeping last night. Slept from 1am to 4am and that was it. Hot flushes every 20 - 30 minutes, bowel issues, and just wide awake. Dozed a bit between 9am and 10.30am. I hate turning day into night but three hours is not sufficient for me to FUNCTION AS A HUMAN BEING  :#
