Insomniacs not so anonymous!

I hope you've managed to get back to sleep Annie. Do you snooze at all during the day? DH is often awake too (for him it's back pain etc.) but then makes up for it with an after lunch 'nap' and often an evening snooze. His sleep pattern is completely random now. Staying awake during the day makes no difference to how long he sleeps at night.

I hope you're asleep now and wake refreshed.

I don’t kñow what happened there I went to bed at 11 and I don’t remember waking up till 7 if I did it must have been briefly as I have no memory But this is unheard of ever

Nfk, no I no,longer sleep in the day but do,little so suppose it could be called day rest.

With all you have been and are going through I’m not at all surprised you don’t sleep well. If we ever make all the millions we’re supposed to if we eventually Brexit, I think the Government should be able to arrange for NHS Mollycodlers to come and pamper people who’ve been pushed to the Edge in their own homes until they are fit enough to shout that they’re fed up with being smothered and push them out of the door.

Nfk, I like it ?

How are things with you Annie? Is your arm healing? How is your new poppet getting on? Is she best friends yet with Lottie or has Lottie had enough of her yet and told her to behave?

Can't stop coughing so made a cup of tea. I don't drink normal tea or coffee, but I have found a tropical tea by Tetleys that's nice.

I read on here about ginger tea, so DH got some ginger root today for me to try.

Hope you are all in the Land of Nod. Zzzzzzzz

Hello Wilma, sorry you still have the cough . Puppy and Lottie getting on well and I am pleased Lottie is wearing a I'm In .Charge badge.

Reflux bad tonight, I hate chicken now, I hate food

That sounds about right! What about your arm? Is it healing OK? I was thinking about you struggling to eat enough and wondered if this made you a slow healer (hope that's not too personal).

Arm healing thanks, was on antibiotics so couldn't have antacids, they upped the Ensure, still disturbed sleep but reflux not as bad . Back on food and reflux worse again.

I know what it's like when your medication conflicts. I take Esomeprazol and follow all the advice, but I still end up being sick from coughing. It is what it is. I sneezed earlier and my new crown shot out of my mouth!

Went to bed at 10.30 woke up refreshed ready to start the day looked at my watch 11.30 ?got back to sleep till 2am again back to sleep till 4 now playing on iPad Good morning everyone xx

3.15am. Chicken is now off the menu. What the hell is going on, had to stop Ensure , headaches all day, tired of trying

Sorry to hear that you're still struggling with eating.

I think I've just slept for a good 3 solid hours which is most welcome.

Can you eat eggs annie? Maybe a light omelette. Plain rice or dry toast. Sorry, you've probably tried everything already. Glad to hear Lottie and Phoebe getting on well.

Have put on a little bit of weight since drinking the Ensure but was having headaches all day, no Ensure for three days, no headaches.

Food doesn't like me ,rice causes hives, chicken causes brick feeling in abdomen, there must be something . Thanks x

I've never posted on this site because, luckily, I seldom suffer from insomnia but I DO read it and notice that some of you are finding it hard to sleep because of heartburn and reflux, so I wondered if you had heard about the treatment called IQoro. I haven't tried it personally, although I may do so at some time because I've developed what the doctors call an unco-ordinated gullet, but it's a simple exercise system before meals which seems from medical reports to have a really good success rate and does away with the need for drugs. It might be worth looking it up on the internet.

Honking seal cough still stopping me from sleeping very long, but it's time to try again!

Happy New Year to everybody and best wishes to you for 2018!

Happy New Year everyone! Struggling with bursitis which keeps me awake and the meds for it which upset my tummy!

Happy New Year to everyone. Haven’t needed to be here for a few nights so not too irritable tonight. Awake an hour or so, perhaps four hours asleep. Hope the tummies and coughs have settled. Our bodies can be such a nuisance at times. Goodness annie your system truly doesn’t get along well with food. Wishing you all better sleep in 2018.

Hopefully I will be the only one on here tonight which would mean you are all getting some sleep. I've not slept so far. Been to bed but got upset stomach and so finding it easier to sit in a chair.

Morning to anyone lurking here. Desperate to get sleep tonight. Can't keep my eyes open, but my throat is making too much noise for me to drop off. Arrrgh.

It's 2018. Can't believe it.

Hello wilma (love your name by the way ). Sorry you are feeling so bad. I am wide awake, no sleep for me tonight. Hop your throats gets better soon.

Thank you - pinched it from the Terry Wogan breakfast show from years ago.

Sorry about your upset stomach.

I find it hard to sleep sitting up, but it would help if I could crack it. Just need to find a comfy position.
