Supposed to be going to sleep, but as per usual am wasting time, for some reason unbeknown reason to, I like to avoid sleep 🙄

Anyone else awake (and why😁)?

Oh itchy bits is horrible, and you just know that scratching them is making it worse, even if you can't help it.
.I've been through a spate of that, lately.

I think it might be a perimenopaus thing - I've tried everything I might normally do to help but it's never gone on this bloody long before

RobertSmithsLipstick · 16/12/2021 02:51

Oh I bet it is a peri issue.
All the usual stuff then?
Moisturiser, yoghurt?

I've been awake since 4.30am feeling poorly from my booster and my general anxiety about IVF. Nothing compared to what some of you are going through 💐

I feel lost.

Sorry for your loss FlyingHighandDry.

I'm feeling sorry for myself as I have a non covid horrible virus. I've had it since last Tuesday and have pretty much given up on sleep every day since.

I'm currently watching a repeat of Strictly on Bbc2. I don't normally watch it but it is quite good at distracting me from my ill health.

Hope everyone here manages some sleep and/or gets through whatever they are dealing with.

I've been woken by a migraine, probably down to barely eating yesterday. Spent the day in bed with suspected shingles, drugged up and drifting in and out of sleep. This is after a very stressful few weeks. Have never felt so ill having had a week of awful headaches that just wouldn't go away, feeling not like myself and barely functioning. I think it was the antivirals the doctor prescribed me that laid me low yesterday. Happily I do feel as though I've turned a corner and even though I'm awake I feel pretty much okay.

Sending Flowers to those of you having a much worse time of things, coping with bereavement and so on.

Travelledtheworld · 17/12/2021 04:12

Awake since 2.30. I have a sore throat and a bit of a cough and got up to do a Lateral flow test. Which was negative. But now I can't get back to sleep. So waiting for the North Shropshire by election results.

wrinkle5 · 17/12/2021 04:20

Currently awake because my baby projectile vomited on me a few minutes ago. Wishing I had a TV in the bedroom!

Thinking of you all who are unwell, it must feel very lonely and rubbish at this time of morning Thanks

Bloodybridget · 17/12/2021 04:20

@RobertSmithsLipstick

Did you take it or just leave it for tonight? You'll have to set an alarm for 10pm or something.
I couldn't take it, as it was more than an hour after the usual time. When I started on the drug earlier this year, I had reminders and alarms on my phone, but I got fed up with all the alerts and pings and turned them off.
BirdyBee · 17/12/2021 04:23

I'm up because my 3 year old has had a dream and swears she hears reindeers on the roof and would very much like me to go out and look! Sorry for everyone whos having a shit time at the moment xxx

idontgetpaidenoughforthis · 17/12/2021 04:35

Woke up due to bad stomach pain (ongoing condition) but can't get back to sleep despite painkillers having kicked in, as the neighbours appear to be having a Christmas party 😫

idontgetpaidenoughforthis · 17/12/2021 04:38

Hugs to everyone in pain or ill. To the people with little ones I don't miss that! One year my done woke us up Christmas Eve/morning every half an hour from midnight "is it morning yet?" We gave up at 5am and got up 😂

I am awake as I have a sore throat and a bit of a cold (lateral flowed negative). I was going to try get my booster today at a walk in clinic but I wonder if I should wait until the cold has gone. Anyone know?

Moolia · 17/12/2021 04:52

You're fine to get a booster with a cold. I wouldn't delay.
