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.

Re: Night Shift

That sounds interesting @Faith-and-Hope
I'll see if I can track some down at the weekend.

My main problem is that my spine and other bones are fusing together. As a result I'm losing flexibility. Sitting is a killer unless I can keep moving. Standing for more than 10 mins is also problematic. Walking at a particular speed which I'm sure changes with each individual with ankylosing spondylitis deems to be the trick.

Once you find the best speed for pain relief it's magical. It's been a looong day and dog decided it was too cold to go out for a walk. As she is over 100 in human years I guess it's fair enough. I prefer not to walk at night without her at night.

Hoping you have a good day tomorrow. 💛

Hi @Jacques
I'm glad to hear you're holding up OK and that you're looking after yourself.

S2 laughed loudly again at the question about whether we prefer the roller coaster or the merry-go-round. I don't think we have ever had much of a turn with the merry-go-round. It's been roller-coaster for most of our lives !!

😊

Hi @Jacques, thanks heaps for the hello &amp; hugs. It's nice to be remembered &amp; cared about even when I too don't have the energy to post much... <br><br>I stumbled upon this interesting website tonight - the dictionary of obscure sorrows - made up words for emotional states we don't really have accurate words for - I related to a lot... <br><br>Sorry, I don't have more to give right now... I have only been reading posts that come through in my inbox..<br><br>Best wishes for health &amp; healing hugs to all... <br><br>I just feel I need to say to @Former-Member in particular - I care, you are valuable &amp; worthy - you are enough...<br><br>Namaste, <br><br>A
