Insomnia and update x

[s7519jc]

:yesyes: Hello folks x

Just thought I would ask if anyone here has really bad sleeping issues, I can go to bed and sleep aroun 2 hours a nite then I am wide awake with my mind going into overdrive, also and update I have been back to the docs for lung function test, which has shown I have healthy lungs I have to go back lter for an ECG, I am also being refered to a counciller and have to up my tablets to 20mg xxx

Any advice would be appreciated

Love Sam xx:bighug1:

Hi Sam
I think we all get some sleep problems with this illness from time to time. The best advice I have received about sleep is not to expect that it will stay this way. I can have a few nights disturbed sleep or waking early followed by several good nights. If I can't get back to sleep I get up have some warm milk and then go back again. I also put ear plugs in as I have found that I am much more sensitive to outside noises if I have woken early.
Best wishes
Veronica H
