Well, I went to have a good old moan in the 'anyone awake' thread, and found it has been closed. So, here is a new one.
I'm awake, I have a headache, I'm at work, so can't go prowling around, and I know tomorrow is going to be a terrible day.

Annie have a good afternoon with your daughter. Is she staying fir a while?

Anniebach Tue 24-Oct-17 11:18:09

Only until Thursday morning Belle, her house sitters only had three days free to stay with daughters three dogs and three cats

Bellanonna Tue 24-Oct-17 11:25:27

Well have a lovely time with her Annie. You need a break right now.

Anniebach Tue 24-Oct-17 11:30:24

Thank you Belle x

Thank you; makes me feel so much better to be understood. I made the mistake of seeing my ex husband of thirty years ago but the same problems have shown their face again. I can't be doing with people wbo just freeze you out on a regular basis. I'm friends with ex partner though cos he comes to walk the dog twice a week easier than hating each other.

Anniebach Wed 25-Oct-17 03:59:38

3.35 , mug of tea and world news .

G.P. calling Thursday, hope she can sort out this problem. I long for a good nights sleep and proper meals .

Hope everyone is sleeping x

Wide awake on holiday because I started to be ill this afternoon and my body sleeps to repair itself. Feeling much better now and even looking forward to breakfast! Two and a half hours to go ....

ninathenana Wed 25-Oct-17 05:04:23

I've been awake since 4 am just given in and come down stairs.

MawBroon Wed 25-Oct-17 05:46:45

Is 5.45 insomnia or being an early bird?
Off to try to catch 45 minutes before I need to wake up confused

Grandma70s Wed 25-Oct-17 05:53:16

Very little sleep last night. MawBroon, 5.45 is quite late to wake up, but if you haven’t been asleep before then it’s definitely insomnia!

I’ve had a cup of tea, now I’m going to watch BBC Breakfast.

Anniebach Thu 26-Oct-17 02:19:59

2.15 . Tributes to Fats Domino on radio .

Seeing GP today, hope and pray she will help, have had just about enough .

kezia Thu 26-Oct-17 03:03:22

Still awake but it's my own fault. Someone gave me the new Phillip Pullman book and I've just finished it!
I hope others are having a peaceful night

Nana3 Thu 26-Oct-17 06:05:25

Not too bad a night for me, I was tired after babysitting 2 small DGD's yesterday and a long drive. Stayed up late too in the hope of getting a better night and it has worked.
Good luck with the GP Annie, hope you have a good one and you get help.

Imperfect27 Thu 26-Oct-17 06:11:45

I have been sleeping better of late - tired by work I think. Thankful for it. Hope you can go gently if you had a bad night last night .xx

cornergran Thu 26-Oct-17 06:58:48

Have had four good nights in a row then back to waking every two hours. Goodness knows why. Feel for everyone with on/off sleep. Really hope the GP can help annie, time you were able to rest. Hmm. Wonder if is I'll be seeing you all at 4am tomorrow? Go carefully everyone.

Marydoll Thu 26-Oct-17 08:10:39

Another bad night. Fell out of bed going for yet another wee!
Of course DH didn't hear a thing! Couldn't get back to sleep after that.
I hope your GP can help you "Annie".

Coolgran65 Thu 26-Oct-17 09:25:12

Even with a sleeping pill I'm not sleeping. Have tried everything. This morning I have a telephone appointment with Dr to discuss and hoping he might agree to combine two different sleeping pills, tackle it from two angles. Last night it was 4am and I woke again at after 7. Sometimes I get an hour around 1am and that's it until 4 or 5. And so it has been for at least 20 years...... What I wouldn't give for the bliss of sleep.

Nana3 Thu 26-Oct-17 09:41:50

Hoping you get help that works from your GP too Coolgran65.

Anniebach Thu 26-Oct-17 09:44:32

Marydoll, are you alright?

Marydoll Thu 26-Oct-17 10:19:35

Yes, just sore! Thanks Annie. Had a really sore back this week, too much lifting DGD. Was very stiff trying to get out of bed and overbalanced. Thanks for asking.

Nana3 Thu 26-Oct-17 11:01:35

Sorry about your fall Marydoll. Take care of yourself.

Bellanonna Thu 26-Oct-17 13:52:36

Yes, Marydoll, do take care.
Coolgran I hope the phone consultation was helpful
Annie let us know how it went with the GP

Anniebach Fri 27-Oct-17 02:57:59

2.30am, mug of tea and world news yet again.

Saw GP yesterday , wants me to have endoscopy, concerned ulcer may be the cause . Sending script for medication and script for those meal replacement drinks to my chemist, they will then deliver them to me. To take the meal replacement drinks in addition to meals not instead of meals.

Just had text from daughter, so much hatred, so much hurt, too afraid to block her because she may text for help yet can't take more of these night time verbal attacks.

Got physiotherapist calling today. Gosh I have wittered on, sorry. Hope everyone is sleeping .

Grandma70s Fri 27-Oct-17 06:18:39

I hope something works for you, Anniebach.

I woke at 4 as usual, tried to go back to sleep - and actually did, till 5.25! Couldn’t believe it.
