Hi to the few awake with me.

Thought I’d start a new thread that people can find of they’re awake too and fancy a chat.

Anyone care to join?

Off to doze - seroma, scars, Babs allowing. X

Sorry SCACO must have just missed this post as I went back to bed!

Sorry SCACO - I was awake but trying to get back to sleep so did not turn on computer - am spending hours just in bed at night and not able to sleep - I know I had this problem with steroids and chemo but am now just on Vinorelbine - anyone else awake all night with it? Let’s hope for a better night tonight - have been busy all day, not napped etc so fingers crossed for us both. I have tried a low GI snack at night like oat cracker and humous and some decaf green tea since I’m wondering if glucose is getting to work too much at night (gather the liver can secrete alot at night) - it does seem to help me to nod of eventually with help of lots of yoga and mediation tracks on the ipod…

I was so tired today but thought if I don’t sleep might be better tonight, wrong!!! It’s the sweats as well, and the constant having to get up to wee, feel bloated, icky and very cheesed off!

Now someone else snoring is like torture and can bring the worst out in me. If OH is facing me and has started snore in ear I will give a poke to make him turn over. I luckly a few mths before bc came back in my life won on the premium bonds and I bought a I phone. It has been my best friend at night. I surf this sight but mostly au cards till I can’t keep eyes open any more.
