    neo90​ You've been through a lot in a short time frame! 

    I was a bit grumpy and frustrated after my axillary dissection and my GP pointed out that the lack of sleep could be contributing. She suggested I take panadol to help me get through a night and it did actually help. Better sleep made way for feeling a bit more normal. 

    Are you waking up with pain or with a busy mind or something else?
