Who else can't sleep?

Just woke from a bad dream about having a recurrence  :/

Thanks @annsan. I have some cortisone cream that appears to have helped a bit. She thinls it might be an allergic reaction to one of the meds. I'm not taking anything now so hopefully it will die down.

Hope you got some sleep in the end and that you get to ring a bell today! Well done & congratulations. K xox

So I am on here again, unable to sleep.  Tomorrow is my last chemo...yippee! I wish I could get a decent sleep though as I won't want to get up in the morning in time for the appointment :)  

@kmakm  How did you go with your GP?  Was she able to offer some relief?

@Zoffiel Will do. Seeing the GP tonight. Will ask what she recommends.

Try a bit of bicarb past on your wrist, just to make sure that doesn't irritate you, I find it helps if someone inadvertently slaps a bit of tape on me when I'm not concentrating on what they are doing.   or maybe old fashioned calamine?

Hey @Kagisha, how are you getting on?

Thank you @Sister.

@Zoffiel The worst itch is now my cleavage, which has been going since I woke up from the anaesthetic. Yesterday it started to come up in a rash which is still there. I wouldn't consider home remedies for the incicions, just this area.

Big night: I managed five and a half hours without waking!

There are all sorts of old fashioned remedies for itches. Bicarb soda is another that has worked for me.  I'm just not sure if I'd be applying any of them to a surgical wound if there were other options. It's hard to imagine that cornflour would do any harm on its own, but it could set up a nice little environment for the nasties if you weren't careful.

I've never used it but I've heard that cornflour can help, too - I just don't know if it has to be real cornflour (the cheaper ones are generally wheat flour, believe it or not).  You may want to check with your doctor but diluted Pinetarsal is really good for itches, as well.
