I slept through the night!! (Drugs again, I haven’t found a magic solution I’m afraid.) I feel so very much better and positive about the day. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
@purplepadma That's great news Have a great day
@purplepadma that's wonderful Charlotte, my watch says I slept for 9hrs35mins and I feel quite dreadful, lol. I'm sure I'll recover after tea and crumpets =D
@Vampykitten Crumpets are excellent medicine!
@purplepadma yes, definitely helping =)
@purplepadma Happy Wednesday!
I'm off to collect my new glasses at lunchtime.
@lnr ooh lovely! Are you pleased with the frames?
@purplepadma I have to admit I mostly chose them as being vaguely suitable but not too expensive. Similar to the current ones but dark blue. Hopefully they'll look nice.
@lnr Great! Are you happy with them?
@purplepadma yes! Not least because they are very clean :D
@purplepadma I’m on the sleeping drugs, unfortunately didn’t work last night. I’ll be taking it easy this afternoon
@AliHea That’s good if you can. I took it easy yesterday and Monday
Have you tried the various herbal sleeping remedies? I guess you probably have.
Kalms (mainly Valerian) seem to help me sleep. Still a chemical intervention, obviously, but a gentler one.
@ratcatcher I have, I have
@purplepadma I’ve been dealing with back pain that keeps me awake at night and also wakes me every 2 hours. But my doctor ordered gabapentin and I take exactly as he said, otherwise it doesn’t work. 800 mg 2 hours before I want to fall asleep. I now wake by alarm so I get 6-7 hours sleep in a row, that’s the ticket for me.
I appreciate hearing your self care steps and trials, Charlotte. And I wonder maybe you know another friend who seeks a decent sleep @bhawthorne
@cobalt123 @bhawthorne I don’t, but I’m pleased to make his acquaintance!
