Endof thank you just leaving coffee at the ready and an audible book downloaded for the drive home alone

Sorry some 8f you ill.... I'm just finishing off a month of the citing variety of lurgy. Had a few nights in sleep but now up every few hours to nurse poorly rabbit.

He can't lift his head up to eat properly or coordinate walking so i have to syringe fluids into his mouth then soft baby food. I them prop him in a sitting position and put cabbage and little bit of rabbit food in front of his nose so he can nibble it if he can.

It is something neurological but not sure of cause so treating for all three likely causes lol

1am where I am. Had a busy day, been home 2 hours and DH has pissed me off. He's gone to bed so I'm enjoying a beer.

Think I may be jumping on the food poisoning wagon, was out for a birthday meal (tapas) and now been up for over an hr with a heavy dose of your standard food poisoning symptoms that are not letting up. I hope it's just me and none of my friends who were out with me have it too (especially as some of them are working/travelling today). What a lovely birthday present.

Been awake since 3.30. Nothing to do with food poisoning/ noisy neighbours ( sympathy). Just can't sleep.

HappyShark · 03/02/2019 05:14

In hospital, my drip finished at 3.30am and has been bleeping relentlessly since. None of the nurses seem to know how to get it to stop 😩

CuppaTeaAndAJammieDodger · 03/02/2019 05:14

Your poor bunny Tazzle

Sympathies to all of the sick posters :(

I have insomnia and fibromyalgia so this is my normal. Last night my 15yr old ( almost 16 ) ds went to a party and I couldn't settle until dp picked him up. He was home at 12.15 and I was still awake downstairs at 2.

Managed less than 3 hours on the sofa and up again at 5 and waiting for painkillers to kick in. House is freezing but I don't want to put the heating on yet as it gets hot very quickly and ds's bed is quite near the radiator.

Feeding my brand new baby on the postnatal ward Smile

unexpectedgifts · 03/02/2019 05:43

I'm up. Hormone swings give me insomnia. I've always slept like a dormouse until HRT.

cheeseislife8 · 03/02/2019 05:47

Congratulations Eyedrops!

So many poorly people Flowers

I'm just awake for no good reason. Woke up at 3ish, tomorrow should be fun!

LEMtheoriginal · 03/02/2019 06:01

Because i often wake up at this time. Tonight it was a bad dream - i had hidden a severed head in a handbag under my bed for years. Finally confessed to the heads sister ? That id had it ( not that i still did) then my dp started an affair with her. When i triex to scupper this he threate ed to kill me. I manages to escape onto an old witches boat . It turns out he was the one to kill the original head. I was busy tryi g to get home to remove it from under my bed brfore he took her there for sex.

Its all very odd and i woke up mid dream so it is unresolved. Im a lucid dreamer and tried to get back to it but i needed a wee.

ShockHmm

Im on ADs that are wellknown for producing interesting dreams

QuestionableMouse · 03/02/2019 06:13

A combination of toothache and being too hot (cat + heating + winter quilt). Not used to having the heating on overnight but my parents are staying and they really struggle with the cold.

Kikipost · 03/02/2019 06:17

Having a coffee and about to go out for 10k run with a friend

WingsofNylon · 03/02/2019 06:18

Because I'm worried that I won't find a new job. Because I'm sad I didn't get the dream.job I applied for. But mostly because I have put so much weight on that most sleeping positions are now very uncomfortable for me now. Feeling sad about that.

Westiegirl3 · 03/02/2019 06:19

I've been awake most of the night, due to a family member ruining my weekend off with needing a large amount of money to get dodgy people off their backs.
DH told them we'll help out, but I'm not happy about the situation at all. We can get the money, but it comes detriment to something we agreed on yesterday that would be amazing for our own future.

YouthMarket · 03/02/2019 06:21

Oh Wings I'm sorry. Everything feels much worse when you're not sleeping well.

SlowNorris · 03/02/2019 06:22

tazzle when my bun had the same symptoms it turned out to be a simple ear infection which we treated with meds from the vet and it cleared up within 2 days.

The emergency vet before him recommended ‘PTS and get a new one’ Hmm as it was ‘probably neurological and nothing could be done’.

Also, cabbage can be gassy which is dangerous on an empty tummy. Parsley, coriander, mint, etc are ideal and what mine will reach for first when poorly. Fibreplex and/or recovery plan can be used if there’s nothing obstructing bun’s tract too.

Good luck to you both Flowers

I’m up with some sort of bug. Lots of sneezing, awful coughing, constant pain in the back of my head and eyes that makes it difficult to lift head, vomiting, shivering and aching all over. This is night 2 of it and I’m thoroughly fed up Sad

Dollymixture22 · 03/02/2019 06:29

Bloody cat woke me at 5am and can’t get back to sleep.

Watching the American version of the camping series. Not great

Kahlua4me · 03/02/2019 06:33

Lemtheoriginal that’s an amazing dream ! You could write a book from there...

EightWellies · 03/02/2019 06:34

DW went on a night out, woke me up in the early hours because she'd forgotten her keys 😒. Been up since 5am with our 2 yr old.

sheepwithoneear · 03/02/2019 06:38

I made it to the airport 45 mins early
Slight wobble on the motorway
But we are here

Kahlua4me · 03/02/2019 06:59

Well done you 😊. Now you can treat yourself to a hot drink and some breakfast at the airport before driving home in daylight.

coppercolouredtop · 03/02/2019 13:39

Oo lem I have dreams like that sometimes but mine are always a bit zombie apocalypse type things but with interesting plots....
And always with interesting houses.

tazzle22 · 03/02/2019 22:34

Thank you @slownorris ... vet ruled out ear infection or mites. Reggie been given steroids and antibiotics by vet to deal with infection... I'm giving him painkillers in case he was in pain. Other possible cause could be parasite in brain... giving Reggie daily panacur too. Hope some of it gets him better but whatever it is I think we are talking weeks here. I might be a night owl lol.

I only giving little bits of high water contents foods along with syringed water and baby foods as he was dehydrated. All normal in bowel and peeing department now so trying to get him to eat more if his usual food... very little cabbage, mixed leaves, barley rings and fresh fruit / veg. He lives his baby food though!

Had to give him a shave today as foods getting stuck round his face and very hard to keep clean. Started the other end but he had had enough. .. that's for tomorrow.

Will set my alarm for a few hours time .... see some of you later.
