Who else can't sleep?

@Eastmum Under control!

Have you got Netflix? I've just started watching 'Good Girls' and I'm loving it! Suburban mums going bad, getting in over their heads in desperation. Funny and dark. Excellent cast. I'm three eps in and it's a two thumbs up from me!

@kmakm - thanks Kate - it's only 8mg for a short time.  Apparently there is the chance of an allergic reaction from taxol so my onc has a pre-med schedule to minimise that. For the first taxol it's 8mg dex the night before then two hours before infusion another 8mg dex + 10mg claratyne + 150mg ranitidine.  Week 2 it's 8mg dex the night before but only the antihistamines two hours before; week 3 it's down to 4mg dex the night before + the antihistamines on the day - week 4 it all stops!   At least there's a second season of Black Widows! :)

@tigerbeth Bloody awful! I hope last night was better. Kate  :*

@Eastmum If 8mgs of Dex keeps you awake, don't suffer in silence, ask about trying 4mg. Good luck tomorrow. I hope Taxol's as kind to you as AC was. K xox

Ah @tigerbeth I feel your pain!  Shocking night for me last night - awake at 3:30am! Snoring hubby had already moved to travelling daughter's bed so I turned to SBS on Demand and watched 3 episodes of Black Widows - awesome Nordic Noir Drama about three women who blow up their husbands (LOL) - before I dozed off again at 6:30am  - and yep, it's a work day today! 

My first day of Taxol tomorrow - have been told to pre-med with 8mg dex tonight - hope that means I can still get some sleep! @"Kiwi Angel" - I'll take heart from your experience with dex and night :)

Another night with little to no zzzzzz's .
The God of sleep has decided I should be punished for the 3 great nights I had earlier in the week !! 
Last night got into bed after coming home from the footy , doona snuglgled around me  ,hot cup of tea, dozed off looking at the iPad , put it down turned over ,almost asleep & bang Cramp in my feet !!!
ugh .... Get up , massage feet , back to bed , doze off & REPEAT!! 
This went on & on & on ...........
back in bed now trying to rest , can still feel cramps threatening !! 
Of course the snoring hubby was oblivious ! Annoying ! 

@Sister @"Kiwi Angel" Took ages but I got there in the end. Still blowing a gale in Melbourne. Have a good weekend ladies. Enjoy your treat Steph. K xox

@kmakm hope u managed to get some sleep. I worked up a sweat yesterday doing the vacuuming and then got hit by a hot flush - just about threw up!!  I’m hoping the medication doesn’t make them worse. My boss has been through menopause but it was the cruiseiest ever and I was trying to explain what the flushes feel like - couldn’t do it. 

I'm here @kmakm but I hope you're tucked up and sleeping by now.

Can't sleep, can't sleep. It's very windy here, which I really don't like. The gumtrees are thrashing about making a lot of noise. I'm hot flushing every half an hour so the doona is flapping off and on, yet my feet and nose remain stubbornly cold. Anybody out there?
