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?

- Kiwi_AngelMember@kezmusc I was thinking of u yesterday and was wondering how u were going. I was going to start on Monday but had just come off the fluid tablets so wanted to see how my ankles were as the tamoxifen can cause swelling to so I wanted to know what was causing what. Going to start on Monday, can’t put it off any longer :'(

- Kiwi_AngelMember@kmakm - I have had couple of those cancer dreams too since I was diagnosed - bloody horrible - like reliving the whole thing again!!
- SoldierCrabMemberoh Kmakm I did that a few times after my treatment finished I think it is our minds processing all the Stressors we have been through .... HUGS I found If I got up and had a read for a while or meditated it helped.
- kmakmMemberDreamed I had throat cancer. Diagnosis, xrays, the shock, telling people, talking to doctors, demanding an MRI, the whole bloody thing. Woke up three times and went back to sleep twice only for the dream to pick up where it had left off. I'm not going to try to sleep any more. It was horrible. What is that all about?? Bloody hell...
- Kiwi_AngelMemberManaged to get back to sleep sometime after 4. Didn’t hear hubbys alarm go off and it was a real trial to drag my ass out of bed.
- SisterMemberGot back last night and even with the fire lit straight away, the house is so bloody cold. I've just put more wood on and I'm sitting next to it hugging a wheat bag and a hot mug. For once, I was woken by legs aching from cold.
@Eastmum Dex never had the hyper effect on me that it seems to have on everyone else. Hope your managing the side effects okay. - kmakmMemberSo tired yet so awake...
- Kiwi_AngelMember@Eastmum that’s great news. I on the other hand am wide awake at 3.30am :(
- EastmumMemberI do have a king sized bed @tigerbeth - but my arms are still long enough to reach that pillow LOL
