Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

@TAB Yup I’m a big worrier and had no idea my foot was dying and nearly choked when surgeon said you are lucky you are alive. Then went in for 9 hour surgery. It’s rough isnt it being in hospital a lot. Same for me and with this disease I’ve already had 7 surgeries and more needed in future. I’ve spent months in Hosputal since turning 51. I don’t mind taking the meds but the side effects are wicked. I’m on 3 different blood thinners, BP meds and anti clotters. Plus mental illness meds which are pretty useless at this time. Nothing can do about it cause the meds keep me alive. Gosh that’s hard though having to go on meds because of side effects of other meds.

Im sorry you’ve had a lot of alcoholism in family. I’ve been lucky my parents didn’t drink so I wasn’t interested in it either. It’s hard when family are drinkers and more likely the kids will too.

That's really good you got the compression stockings they can help a lot.

Im in the middle of moving to new rental. My cats won’t be happy at all.
