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 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

@purplepadma

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.

@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!
