Can’t sleep!

I have been so tired and poorly all day looking after ds (day 1, single parent). Now I can’t sleep, shivering, aching all over (even my teeth) and breathless/coughing! Hoping this gets better soon!! Wish I could hibernate! Any tips to alleviate any symptoms 🥲

Poor you - sounds miserable. How are you feeling this morning? Have you had a COVID test?

Can you lean heavily on tv and snacks for dd today? It won’t do him any harm to have a quiet day with you while you lie under a duvet on the sofa.

Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry - ds

Paracetamol is probably your own friend here… and time. I hope you feel better soon!

Night Nurse really helped me

Definitely agree with Night Nurse. Great nights sleep so you can recuperate.

Thanks all… I’ll order some night nurse!
Day has been much the same! Chest is really hurting now too… I managed a nap at least. Hoping I’ll get a good nights sleep tonight.
@AtlasPine yes had my covid test and is positive 😥

Have you had your booster may I ask?

Hope you’re better soon.

Oh I feel for you, single mum here too. My children have had a lot more screen time. Needs must. Hot water bottle has helped with my awful aches.

Melatonin.
3-6mg take an hr before bed.

@Spongecake23 thank you, I had my booster the end of September - so may have worn off by now maybe 🤯

@HoldenCaulfieldismyhomeboy hope you’re better soon too! So awful isn’t it. Screen time has been my saving Grace today as well. Did actually use my hot water bottle earlier which helped my back pain, I feel like I’ve aged 20 years 😂 x
