Who else can't sleep?

@kmakm  still in bed too !! 
All the best for todays appointment . If you need a visitor today i'm happy to oblige .
Not sure what lies ahead re side effects as my menopause status is unclear going for blood tests to determine what's what !
I already have aching hips & hands :s
Not mush sleep had last night , hopefully tonight will be better .
Here's to a peaceful night for all , have a great day xx

Thanks @arpie. I'm going through chemo induced menopause right now so if I get the side effects they're going to be piling on at the same time. Your list is dreadful, I'm so sorry that you're experiencing all that.

Stay being an ostrich I say @Sister.

I am doing what I normally do before a cancer appointment I don't want to go to:  not getting out of bed. It's less than an hour before I have to go so I suppose I should heave myself up....  :/

@kmakm ...... I am in the same boat as you re the AI - dreading the return to Menopause symptoms!  :(   During my 10 years of menopause, my sleep was totally disrupted as well as all the other symptoms - uncontrolled rage, depression, vaginal atrophy, aching everything - I even developed bunions on both sides of both feet (and still have them ... and THEY are playing up BIGTIME just now too - not sure if one has turned into gout it is SO painful!)  A buddy with metastatic bone cancer is also on hormone blocking stuff - and HE is going thru what he calls 'menopause' symptoms now too - getting very emotional etc - tho with a terminal disease, he has extra reason to get emotional.  

So also NOT impressed with the side effects.  Just had my bloods taken today to check my Vit D & other stuff .... they reckon higher levels of Vit D can help lessen the side effects.

I've still got that discussion to come but it's months away so being an ostrich.

Thanks @Sister. I'm lying here trying to relish the fact that my joints don't ache. Last time I saw my oncologist she told me that the AI will give me joint pain and by the time I come off it in seven years they'll ache anyway. Fan-bloody-tastic. SO looking forward to seeing her again...

I've just looked at another thread and see why you've not been sleeping @kmakm.  Good luck with the onc appointment today.
It's shit isn't it @tigerbeth  Bloody hormones got me into this mess.

Not happy to see you back on this thread @kmakm - but not happy to be here myself.  Oh well, better than yesterday when I was awake from 2am thinking about having chemo.  Hope you're feeling better apart from no sleep.

@tigerbeth Oh no! That is most inconvenient. Poor love, I hope it goes away very soon. Bloody hormones... K xox

F**k !! Still awake !!
as an added extra to this shit I had a Mirena removed on Tuesday 
& 'bingo bango  ' Headache arrives today !! Haven't had one for 3 years !
my go to medication has not worked & not happy Jan !!!
Presume this will get worse when I'm on tamoxifen or whatever , great !! Not !! 

Has your doctor prescribed you anything to take the edge off @kagisha?  The first few weeks are so hard when you're still waiting for some direction.
