We used Medised Jo!!
Jill and any other ladies who can’t sleep… maybe we need to call for outside help ???
Worth a try !!!
Morning all - surreal night .Slept til 3am , was having bizarre dreams re a terror attack on people riding bicycles when the dog sat up - howled like a wolf -scared the living **** out of me and left me with pounding heart for the rest of the night !!! Slight better news - my wobbly tooth fell out so at least I don’t have to face a trip to the dentist -maybe just ring for some advice and explain the issues re anxiety and go to scheduled appointment in 6 weeks time .Dont think they would do anything anyway ?? Belle did you manage to get some rest ? Husband just gone out - hardest time of the day for me -still finding the recording of the anxiety triggers /symptoms /thoughts hard to do . Sue, how’s the fatigue ?
Have busy difficult week this week ,visit from Wellbeing service ,Occy health appointment ,CBT and acupuncture - eek !!!
Best get it checked out Sue is it your " good boob " ? I still have pain sometimes 2 years on in " bad boob ".
I think it’s probably normal to get pain sometimes - mine is still sore and can’t lie on that side .
It’s horrible isn’t it - is your BC nurse helpful ?
Hiya Sue,
Totally understand your worry.
Sending you healing vibes and gentle hugs.
Take care, Belle xxx
Yes another long day for me too Belle. Horrible panic attack at lunchtime out of no-where had to phone a friend to calm me down ,followed that with a migraine which put OH in foul mood as I had said I would go for a drive with him ,he is getting more and more frustrated with this .Think you are supposed to take the magnesium twice a day split morning and night from what I read Belle .Hope it has some impact for you ,I’ve been taking it for a while but only half dose by mistake !! Here’s to a better night tonight !!! Accupuncture tomorrow which usually helps in some way.
Husband kicking off and resentful tonight -always at his least supportive when I’m at my worst .Wish I was stronger, wish the anxiety would **** off !!
Don’t think he’s in the mood for a hug Sue…
Thanks Moijan, I did try Headspace but found it hard to concentrate when very anxious -maybe I should try it again. - didn’t know about bingo / cancer section ?
How are you doing Belle ? I got some sleep last night ,but didn’t stop the anxiety kicking in first thing this morning such a rubbish way to start the day isn’t it !!
Belle ,have you been to GP re the nausea dizziness -could be an inner ear thing like labyrinthitis not connected to the other stuff at all .Also when you are ill I find the anxiety stuff gets worse ,stress of any kind emotional or physical seems to make things worse .
You could try seasickness tablets from the pharmacy that it what they initially try for labyrinthitis .I have bouts of it every now and then - it’s caused initially by a virus .
How you doing today Belle ? Was thinking about you at 4am when lying awake in state of anxiety !!! Hope you are feeling a bit better .
You just end up feeling like such a moaning **** don’t you Belle !!! My asthma is bad at the moment too which doesn’t exactly help with anxiety- keep having to bite my tongue when people ask how I am -they must be as bored as me of this !! I just feel like I am clawing my way through the days at the moment and hoping for the brief periods of calm and that they come more often.CBT again tomorrow which I am not exactly looking forward to ,also have OH appt ,which I’m not looking forward to either !!! You really do sound like you have something more than menopause going on at the moment Belle - could you be referred back to hospital re the vertigo ?
Only been taking the magnesium at the right dose for about 10 days -read the bottle wrong and was taking half , but can’t say I have noticed any benefits as yet. Don’t think the ladycare magnet is going to help will give it another couple of weeks though .If you want to try it after that I will send it you if you want - no point in us both wasting £30 !!!
Belle and Jill,
soorry you you are both going through the wars…as you know, this b disease does this to us…maybe, just maybe the meds play a part, but I remember last year when I was told I was headed for chemo as my bc was going rampant…
at the time, I had headaches, sore throat, neck aches, backaches, felt b awful and wondered why they thought I was well enough to start chemo!! ?
After my first one, all the symptoms disappeared and I felt fine…I suspect that a lot of these symptoms can occur when we are stressed or really upset. I do hope things settle down for each of you,
love and and best wishes. Mx ?
