Morning! Watching CBeebies with two youngest DGC while their parents have a lie in. Well, they are watching it....

What bliss ariadne enjoy.
I was a bit apprehensive about sleeping as I have a 7 day heart monitor to try to capture the palpitations on record. However I located my money belt in the depths of the wardrobe - which has an elasticated waist - and put the monitor in it. Wires going up and out of the neckline of nightie. It was fine! I also found £120 pounds in the money belt so that was pleasant surprise. smile smile

Oh Jess! Pleased about the extra money - but what's with the heart palpitations? Is this a recent thing?

Ariadne - Agree with Jess - Bliss.

Up, washed and dressed. Local map out and planning some new walks. It's a pretty morning out there.

Hi everybody. Nice bright morning.

Unusually early for me...not a great night. I had worrying eye symptoms late last night and need to phone the doctor - complicated by my car being due to go for MOT this morning and I may need it, so must phone the garage first......
Sometimes I hate being older.

GGGrrr. Dozed off on settee, now have crick in the neckhmm. Hey ho. 'Good morning - well gray and miserable morning'

AlieOxon Tue 08-Apr-14 10:28:48

Hope your neck and morning are recovering boheminan !

I was awake at 4 this morning and tried to find this thread then, feeling a bit ugh! Now sad. May go swimming later. Hope you are okay this morning Alie and that the heart monitor gives you the answers Jess

AlieOxon Tue 08-Apr-14 11:14:57

DebnCreme I'm waiting to speak to a doctor...before 1pm hopefully.
Eye seems ok now but I don't know what it was. Patch in my vision.

Jess hope your heart thing gets sorted.

AlieOxon Tue 08-Apr-14 11:16:05

DebnCreme sorry meant to say hope swimming cheers you up!

DebnCreme Tue 08-Apr-14 11:24:01

I am sure the swimming will thanks Alie Hope you don't have to wait too long for your doctor's call; you are very wise to check it out though.

annodomini Tue 08-Apr-14 11:28:50

Alie, I hope the doctor gets back to you quickly. Anything to do with eyes is disturbing. Hope it's not a problem.

AlieOxon Tue 08-Apr-14 11:42:25

Happened once last week, went away. I thought 'better do something if it happens again'. Last night I was panicking, heart thumping, yuk. It went away again, but....

Elegran Tue 08-Apr-14 11:58:12

It could be "just" a migraine symptom, Alie. Doc will be able to diagnose, or send you to a man who can.

Aka Tue 08-Apr-14 12:11:51

I get visual migraine but without the headaches any more. Hope it's nothing more Alie

AlieOxon Tue 08-Apr-14 12:27:19

I do get that, every couple of months, I am used to it and it goes away in 20mins to half an hour - but this is something different.

AlieOxon Tue 08-Apr-14 12:39:49

Doctor says see an optician. I will.

JessM Tue 08-Apr-14 22:05:45

Thanks guys. Irregular heartbeat. Got much better the minute doctor referred me smile
Anxiety Allie ?
Mine is an irregular beat.

AlieOxon Fri 11-Apr-14 16:47:28

Each happened after very stressful days.....

'Hello…Planet Boheminan calling Planet Gransnet…Anyone at home?
I spent all day yesterday (Friday) convinced it was Sunday. I get a feeling it's going to be a Very Long Weekendtbuconfused

gratefulgran54 Sat 19-Apr-14 04:05:01

Anyone out there? Spent a happy 4 hours yesterday with one of the pupils from my school (respite care). Unfortunately it has come back to bite me on the bum. He spent a lot of time on a climbing frame, which meant me looking upwards a lot. Totally oblivious at the time of what this would do to the fused vertebrae and arthritis in my neck...from shoulders to forehead is now just a mass of pain......goshdarnit! Managed a couple of hours, but can't get comfy at all .....not a happy bunny tonight! sad

Culag Sat 19-Apr-14 04:15:39

I'm awake too! I can't understand it but when I have a busy time I find it difficult to sleep. When I do nothing, I sleep like a log. confused

gratefulgran54 Sat 19-Apr-14 04:39:37

I can relate to that one too Culag, I have a busy day ahead of me, and am going to have to manage it on about 3 hours sleep....not the perfect scenario. Blinking pain isn't it? hmm

rockgran Sat 19-Apr-14 05:42:02

I've been awake since 4.30 - no reason really. I seem to be going through a phase. Once awake I'm "thinking". Most of it is complete trivia - wish there was an off switch! tbuhmm (by the wayI love these bunnies.)

boheminan Sun 20-Apr-14 01:29:49

Hey Ho! (yawn) It's Sunday…I thinktbuconfused Another night with no sleep on the horizon. Anyone else awake???
