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.

Hey @eth, yeah, got to the docs today, talked about how bad the feet and lower leg pain is getting, and how some of my joints are aching most of the time. Had a blood test to check for signs of auto-immune inflammation going on. Getting an X-ray of the feet, ankles and knees next week. Talked about pain relief options and she advised me on what over-the-counter medication I can take for now (also for throat troubles). All good for now.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Mazarita very sorry to hear you have so much going on in the physical causing you such discomfort. Hopefully some of the testing will at least show something that is easily treatable. And glad to hear you can use some sort of pain relief in the meanwhile. Seems like your doctor is onto it with you.
