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.

Thanks @Shaz51

My younger son S2 turns 21 tomorrow, so we are going out for dinner tomorrow night, but it will just be us, and quite quiet. He has a party with friends and family in a couple of weeks time to celebrate in a noisy way ....

I remember being involved in seeing all my four stepchildren turning 21 , it was wonderful

@Shaz51 That will be the cold weather affecting your sciatica? I suffer too. Today, from driving yesterday in the ridiculous traffic that is now Brisbane. I have so much trouble driving a manual. We have one to tow the caravan, so it's a big 4wd too with a hard clutch. What do you do to ease it? I find a hot water bottle on my lower back greatly eases the pain, and 'Pain Away' cream helps.

Ohhh @artee, you have sciatica tooo

sending you hugs

thank you for the advice @artee , I find if i do too much or stand around too long that it hurts the most

'Pain Away' cream may be helpful as i was using osteo cream but i don`t really think it help too much

@Shaz51, Everyone's different of cause but I found daily tumeric (with splash of black pepper) and 3g omega3 help. Sciatica is painful but temporary (comes & goes). I gave 4 bulging discs lower back, scoliosis & prolific OA. Ageing is not for the faint hearted. Heat packs are good. Maybe teach the hubby to give you massages.

Hi Artee, F&H & everyone. Hope your day is as good as mind weatherwise today 🙂
