Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

When I felt more functional (less exhausted) by early afternoon @Former-Member

Then I got my grocery shopping done, so that's good.

Back pain really bad, the past few days.

Really need a back massage (that helps the most) - but not wanting to spend the $$ for it.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I am wondering if it I'd worth mentioning your exhaustion to your GP @Adge if you have not done so already.

Back pain = 😨

It us hard when cost is a limiting factor in relation to health care. If you qualfy for a GP management plan, some therapies are covered.

I see a Sleep Specialist Dr (past 12 years) @Former-Member Due to Sleep Apnea.

Stimulant medication (from Sleep Dr) marginally improves functioning.

The GP's never helped with my fatigue, except to send me to Sleep Clinic (Dr) in 2007.

Oh yes, thanks for reminding me - Physiotherapy is covered under GP management plan.

Haven't one of those in several years.
