Who else can't sleep?
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?

- SisterMemberWell, as long as you have work sorted out @"Kiwi Angel" - maybe you can claim overtime!
- Kiwi_AngelMemberWent to sleep at 9.30 but woke up about 2.30 and have been thinking about cancer and what I have to do at work today :-(
- Kiwi_AngelMember@finch - sorry to hear u r feeling bad today - big hugs xoxox
- FinchMemberondasetron to prevent nausea and the Dex , all finishes tonight so I've just got today to get through. I feel like I want to do everything right now this minute, but at the same time I can't do anything . Really stupid and strange .
i read last night until 11.30 which helped. It's a weird thing this chemo. I can't think straight. - SisterMemberWhat sort of medication have they got you on @Finch I was prescribed Ativan for nausea but it's also an anti-anxiety drug so it knocked me out for those horrible first few days which helped get through them.

- FinchMemberI slept 5 hours!!! My husband got up to use the toilet and then was too scared to come back to bed for fear of waking me. he knows I'm a light sleeper at the best of times.
I feel fairly rotten right now .... day 2 of chemo is taking effect. I don't know what to do with myself. - kmakmMemberLay awake until 2am, tossing and turning. Just could not fall asleep. Kept thinking about my operation. Challenging.
- Kiwi_AngelMember@sister hahaha. I just about dozed off at chemo yesterday. Couldn’t manage to get up for my walk this morning but should make up some steps at work.
