Anyone taking 15mg Mirtazapine with 10mg Escitilopram?

Oh Ann,

Hopefully you will get there soon or at least to a place you feel a little calmer in??

The dreaded supermarket ! I was doing the shopping on line for a while as couldn't face the supermarket at all.

I do have aching joints but I was diagnosed with osteoporosis last year after breaking my foot so tend to put it down to that!

But I know some of the aching is because I'm so tense !

Is it not worth just ringing consultants secretary just on the off chance?..... you never know, especially if you explain how ill you are?!

Hope you cope with the supermarket and today's visitors.

Hugs 🤗 

Gosh I'm finding today incredibly hard. 

My son is out and I'm on my own. Keep thinking I should go out but I'm so exhausted but feel so agitated too and can't relax.

What's wrong with me? Is this just the anxiety and part of the course? X

Hi Nikki,

I feel for you, I hate those days.

How long have you been on this new regime now?s

Sounds like the anxiety but I would of thought you'd be seeing some kind of improvement by now, are you still feeling nauseous too?

Hugs 🤗 

It's been two and a half weeks now.

The nausea isn't so prominent now. It's this restlessness and inability to switch off unless I take a diazepam but that doesn't last more than a couple of hours. 

I'm so tired! 

I've just had a letter through with an appt in two weeks to see community mental health lady. 

I don't know whether to take another diazepam. X

Take another one if you've got enough, it won't hurt.

Is that a community mental health lady who comes to you or do you have to go to them?

I was like that until I hit 3.5 weeks on the Escitilopram, Quetiapine and 2mg Diazepam.

Still not sleeping great but don't feel as bad today as I did yesterday.

When do you see your GP again?

Are they keeping you on this regime or are they intending to drop one of the ADs eventually?

Sorry I can't remember!

Hugs 🤗 

I've taken one.  Not really quieting my brain but made a little difference.

The appt is to go to my local depression and anxiety service. I think they'll look at what I need then.

No idea what my GP's plan is for meds. I think he said about seeing if I need to be on the Mirtazipine.

I don't have an appt but will try to speak to him before end of the week.

Even when I close my eyes, my head just keeps going, all sorts of images and like dreams but I'm not asleep! So draining. 

I hope this settles but today I'm not feeling it will on these meds. X

I think it's the Mirtazapine causing the dreams etc as loads of people who take it say the same.

I'd try and talk to your Dr by the end of the week, especially with a bank holiday weekend coming up, just see what he says about how your feeling.

I think they're too quick to just give us the meds and leave us to it, I think they should monitor us more closely, especially as it's new meds and they don't know how we're going to react to them.

That's why I've been seeing either my GP or mental health nurse specialist weekly , I need that support etc from them.

Hugs 🤗 

I've phoned my gp surgery and been told my gp is on holiday until 4th September! I can't believe I've been left like this. I've asked for a gp to call me and one is going to before the end of the day.

I don't think he'll be able to do anything to help but I need some reassurance about what I'm going through. I feel sick. 🙁

Today I've just gone between trying to rest, taken diazepam, tried to rest, breathing, ate a bit, and I'm smoking more than I was. 

I feel like no one is supervising me on this road. X

Hi Nikki,

Jeez these damn Drs, why do they do this to us, just leave us hanging!!

We need support now!

I'm smoking more too, first thing I grab in the morning, my cigarettes!

I started off on 25mg Quetiapine twice a day, and it's now been increased to 50mg in the morning and 100mgs at night.

Yes it's a tranquilliser, but I don't know  if it works better than Zopiclone?

I took Zopiclone when I was diagnosed with breast cancer and from what I can remember it worked well for sleep at the time.

They are prescribing Quetiapine more these days for anxiety apparently as although it's a antipsychotic ( not sure on the spellling ) it's allegedly proved to work well in the treatment of anxiety.

It also increases appetite.

It's a difficult decision, you could try the Quetiapine and see how you feel?

I hope  a GP is either going to see you or speak to you before the 4th September though!!

Hugs 🤗 

Thanks Karen.

I think the gp I spoke to thought it might help with my racing thoughts and sleep. But the Zopiclone has been good so far apart from last night. I'm hoping I get a sleep tonight as I think part of my problem today has been lack of sleep making the racing thoughts worse. It's been horrible! 

I'm going to speak to the same gp tomorrow if I decide to try the Quetiapine. I'll ask her if I can see her next week maybe as I need some kind of gp support during this! 

You've been through quite a lot with breast cancer too. Strong lady!

How long were you taking Zopiclone? 

I'm sorry to have been so full on today. X

Never apologise Nikki we're in this together ??

I'm far from strong I can tell you, being diagnosed with breast cancer at 43 knocked me for 6 and I completely fell apart!

I was taking Zopiclone for about 6 months I think then it got changed to Zolpidem which I was on for quite a few years.

The Quetiapine does calm the racing thoughts.

I'm glad your speaking to that GP again tomorrow.

We need support during this not to just be given a prescription and left for weeks !!

Let me know what you decide to do re the Quetiapine.

Hugs 🤗 

Oh dear, you are having a bad day today.

i too just cant believe how we are just left to get on with all these awful feelings and drugs that were not used to without any help.  I find the gap of four months between pssychiatrists appoinments a total insult.

i hope you may be feeling a little calmer tonight. I have the inner restlessness a lot, its awful, cant think straight and concentrate on anything.  I feel for you.

its interesting you are on mirtazapine same as me, i have a feeling it is the culprit, i cant up the dose as the agitation gets worse, lower if the anxiety and depression get worse.  I also need an appointment.  Needless to say the secretary didnt ring back.

try to relax as best you can, take diazepam if you need it, thats what its for. See if you can listen to the utube meditation for anxiety.  

I hope tomorrow will be better.  Maybe losing the mirtaz isnthe answer, maybe quetiapine, all things to discuss with dr if you can see them!

im thinking about you and Karen, boy we are going through hell.

keep posring, keeps us all sane!

I can't imagine how tough that was. That's the same age I am now.

I'm glad I'm not the only one smoking! 

I really want a break from these ever evolving symptoms! Just don't know what to do about the Quetiapine. 

I hope your day has been ok.

Thank you for being there X

It is disgusting they way we are left to go through this hell !!

Well that's typical the secretary not ringing back!!.... disgusting!

I think there is a strong possibility it is the Mirtazapine.

But that's just a hunch!

Hoping you have a better night.

Hugs 🤗 

It was very tough, the treatment was a rough ride!

No your not the only one smoking lol I don't know what I'd do without my cigarettes lol

Have you got the Quetiapine?

It's got to be your decision which to take, a difficult decision I know.

Hugs 🤗 

It's been a horrible day Ann 😕

I feel like if I could I'd stop the Mirtazipine but gp said not to and I'd be worried about the withdrawal! Also the depression getting worse, like you said. 

I've had prickly, hot flushes up the back of my head all day too. 

My eyes feel exhausted but they get this wide feeling like I can't close them comfortably. 

Thank you for sharing that you get the restlessness too. It's yuck isn't it!

That's awful the secretary didn't call you back Ann. 

Yes, keep posting! Thank you for writing X

I haven't got the Quetiapine. I'll speak to gp tomorrow if I decide to try it. 

I've got this crazy fatigue (which I get anyway with the CFS but it's a different feeling) coupled with inability to relax because of this wired feeling in my body and racing thoughts!

Gosh I smoke through the day at the moment!

X

I think you need to try and get this GP to see how bad your feeling, you can't go on like this, feeling wired is awful.

And racing thoughts are horrendous too!

I hope you manage to get some rest tonight.

Hugs 🤗 

Thank you Karen.

I thought I was getting somewhere 🙁 Now I just feel bad in a different way.

Will speak to gp again tomorrow.

Just need some peace and hope X

Bless you Nikki ??

I hope you get somewhere with that GP tomorrow, I know what a battle it can be with them.

Maybe this is just a blip, we're bound to get days like that as it's still early days for us on our new regimes.

Hugs 🤗 

Yes hopefully just a blip. Thank you for being reassuring ?? Hugs to you too 🤗

How are things today. 

Hope both of you are feeling a little better, 

i am petrified as my family come today for four days, i cannot be like this for them.

just want to be normal.

Hi Ann

No better for me today yet. Had a rough night.

I really feel for you with family coming to stay and feeling as you are. It's very tough on you. I know how you just want to be feeling more yourself and be able to enjoy things like family being around. It will happen one day again.

This is tough isn't it X

Sorry you had a rough night, were you able to get any sleep?  Is it the anxiety which is triggering the awful feelings?

I had quetiapine for a while, i think it might help you sleep, i came off after six months as it didnt seem to work for me.

i hope you can manage to get some answers today and maybe a change of regime will help you.  Keep posting and telling us how you are.

still waiting for phone call about getting earlier appointment, not holding out much hope.  Your health service seems a bit better than mine.

 

Hi Ann,

Not too bad a night, but up early again !

I can imagine how anxious your feeling about having family to stay.

It's bad enough trying to deal with this, but having to try to not show how awful your feeling , and wanting to enjoy family visiting must feel daunting.

I really pray that you will get a phone call today to say they've brought your appointment forward!

Hugs 🤗 

Can i ask a question - have you noticed the forum has gone very quiet, no,postings overnight on mine and only us so far today.  Is it my machine or is there  a problem do you think

I had notifications of a few over night but not as many as usual.

There appears to a be a couple where people are supporting one another, like we are, but, your right a lot quieter.

Hugs 🤗 

Thanks for reply. Im glad its not just me noticing this.  Maybe its just been a quiet night and things will get back to normal levels.

 

Hiping you are seeing doc today? Hope you fel better as day goes on.   My anxiety at all time high with kids arriving.  KNow what you felt like yesterday!

thinking of you, we can beat this thing, we were ok before it.

Hi Nikki and Ann,

Yes we can beat it, it's going to be tough, but we will do it!!

We need to believe in ourselves and remember the positives , no matter how small they may be.

Hope your anxiety calms a little Ann so you can enjoy the little ones.

Nikki, hope your GP rings and has some answers.

Hugs to you both 🤗

Hi Karen and Ann

Thanks for your posts. 

I had to take my dog to the vets this morning, thankfully my Sister took us as I was exhausting and worried. Doggy has meds and had an injection as looks like she has an inflamed throat, I was up with her at midnight.

Got home and took a diazepam and been resting though no sleep. I get the weird thoughts that I'm going to call nightmares even though I'm not asleep!

Just trying to accept these things now for what they are. The restlessness as well. 

Trying to trust it will all settle down.

The gp phoned. She's not prescribing me the Quetiapine for now as said I'd need blood tests before taking it. So she's prescribed more Zopiclone and said to try a double dose (have been on 3.75, so up it to 7.5). 

What dose did you take Karen?

I hope your days are going ok though I read you're struggling Ann. I am so with you! 

We can come through this. We will. We will feel like our normal selves again. 

I'm sending huge support ????

Hi Nikki,

Glad you got to the vets ok and hopefully your dog will be feeling better soon.

I can't remember what dose of Zopiclone I used to take though 5mgs rings a bell?

I wonder why my Dr dished out Quetiapine so easily to me?

I know there can be interactions between that and escitilopram.

I'd take the extra dose of Zopiclone and see how you feel.

I remember dreading the nightmares too, thankfully they appear to of stopped now.

You must be exhausted Nikki, I guess resting is better than nothing if you can't sleep during the day.

My day hasn't been too bad, have to go to supermarket when hubby gets home, that will be a quick, in and out!!

Got Drs in the morning, see what he has to say.

Thank you both for your support.

Hugs 🤗 

Hi Karen

I am exhausted. Just don't know what to do with myself. Try everything to relax. Then get restless and frustrated.

Doctor seemed to have changed her tune about the Quetiapine since yesterday! I think she was reluctant to change anything as she's not my gp, though he's away!

I'm getting really frustrated now. But I know I have to be patient!

I hope you got to the supermarket ok. That's good and encouraging you've not had too bad a day!

X

How are you doing Ann?

I spoke to the doctor but not changed anything other than a higher dose of Zopiclone to try.

I'm thinking of you with your family arriving to stay X

Hi Nikki,

How I wish I had a magic wand to make us all feel better 😢

Managed to go to the supermarket, funnily enough I didn't even think about the anxiety when I walked in! Wasn't in there long mind!

Sorry your still feeling restless and agitated, I think from reading your other thread too you can probably put it down to pregabalin withdrawal.

On top of the new meds too.

I know exactly how that feels, I thought I was going mad !

Feeling a bit anxious at the moment, don't know why, but I've started feeling like this when I've got a Drs appointment, god knows why?!

Hope you have a better night.

Hugs 🤗 

I know what you mean about feeling anxiety when you've got a doctor's appt. I think it's because you've got to talk about stuff and if you're starting to feel a bit better, you don't want to go over things. Maybe? 

Also it's a reminder of all this stuff!

That's so great you didn't think about the anxiety when you went into the supermarket!

I had this ten minute slot just now where I felt free from it all and just tired and calm. Didn't last!

I think so much of this is withdrawal, like you say.

I hope you feel a bit of calm this evening 🤗

Jeez just 10 minutes let up all day! Poor you Nikki x

I wish these Drs hadn't messed our tablets around then maybe we wouldn't be in such a mess, what withdrawal from one and side effects from another, it's no wonder we feel so rubbish!

Maybe your right about the Drs , he's always running late too so end up waiting up to an hour sometimes.

I think it's also the fear that he may change or stop some medications too.

Hope things settle for you to have a better night.

Hugs 🤗 

Thank you Karen.

Yes I understand that too, about the doctors. It adds to the anxiety doesn't it, wondering what they'll decide! But I'd rest assured that your doctor won't change anything. He can see you're doing better so won't be changing things I'm sure. Stressful too having to wait so long!

Big hugs to you 🤗

Thank you Nikki ❤️

Hi, sorry im a bit late tonight.  Had to feed kids and go to park (wow for me).

babysitting now but not looking forward to 6am wakeup.  They are good and know i cant fuction in am so they will keep kids happy.

good you saw dr and got something to help sleep. It should make a difference. Iam sending you Scottish vibes!

nights sleep helps so much so we all need it.

well thats another day over, so fed up like all of us with restlessness.

i have also got these awful fear feelings even just clinic visits, i am now unable to go to dentist, how weird is that. 

Hope you have managed today.  

Kids want us to go out for a little trip tomorrow but i can feel the fear already.

getting to supermarket is achievement.

Hi Ann,

Well done to you on going to the park, such a big positive!

Oooo  early morning for you then shame I don't live closer as I'm always up at the crack of dawn lol 

Wishing you a settled night.

Hugs 🤗 

Hi Ann

I was thinking you'd be busy with family so please don't ever worry about responding and time etc Good to hear how you're doing though.

That's a big deal doing what you're doing, babysitting and going to the park and generally handling having family around.

So well done you.

And that's good they understand about the morning. You don't need to be trying to handle lovely kiddies in the morning at the moment, no matter how much you love them! 🙂

I only spoke to gp in the phone. I'm not sure whether to try the higher dose of sleeping tablet as so nervous of adding more to my system. But I need sleep too!

I hope you get some sleep tonight Ann X

Maybe you could try just one night of sleep tablet and see how you get on, if it doesnt suit you can always stop.  The way we are all feeling anything is worth a go!

How are you today?

i hope you managed sleep,and feel a bit better.  

Maybe you will be able to get an appointment to see someone soon at GP.

do you feel nausea?  I am waking almost every day with it, need to take buccastem and have had it from day one but its more often now.  Dr says its the anxiety but i do wonder sometimes.

sending good wishes for today

 

how is your anxiety today.  Hoping the tablets will be kicking in and getting it under control.

getting out to shops is such a good achievement.  I wish i could feel good about doing that.

you are doing well.

have a good day

Hi Ann

I slept a bit better last night although I didn't up my Zopiclone, odd!

I feel a low level nausea most of the time and occasionally in the day it becomes dry retching. It's definitely anxiety but whether that's caused by the med changes or it's just my anxiety I don't know! I feel like most of this is medication related with all the changes I've gone through in recent months.

It's horrible for you to be waking with it. I know what it's like. 

How was your night and how are things this morning? X

Thats good you slept a bit better.  Makes the day easier I think. I slept till kids up 6.30 but their mum and dad got up with them.

i am glad its not just me waking with nausea, it has been with me for the whole length of this illness on and off.   They even took my gallbladder out but it still remains.  

I also have what they think is IBS as i have an ache in my lower colon area and sometimes a bout of running to loo.   Luckily not too often, but the nausea does concern me.  All tied up with anxiety apparently....

Hi Ann,

My night wasn't too bad slept through til 5am, usually I wake every hour from about 2am onwards!

Sorry your still feeling the nausea, I do get it from time to time still, think mines the anxiety.

Felt quite anxious last night when I went to bed still couldn't shake it off but obviously fell asleep !

Got Drs soon, another long wait no doubt!

Hope you have a nice day with the family.

Thank you for saying I'm doing well ??

Doesn't feel like it at times.

Small steps I guess.

Hugs 🤗 

How are you coping with having the family there?

Hi Nikki,

Glad you slept better last night.

Oh I hate the dry retching!

I hope things settle a little for you today.

Off to the Drs in a bit, another long wait no doubt!

Hope your day is calm .

Hugs 🤗 

Gosh you've had a lot to deal with Ann with the gall bladder operation and I know what IBS is like!

Try not to let the nausea concern you. It is a big part of anxiety and medication changes. It will get better as the anxiety improves. Though I get fed up with it too!

I'm glad you slept but that's an early start isn't it. Good job parents got up with the kiddies. Gosh it's hard work with young children! 

Thinking of you today. Try not to read into the nausea as it is just part of where you're at with anxiety and lowering the Mirtazipine. I know it's easy to say but it's ok, even though it's not nice at all! X

Good luck at drs.  Do let me know how it goes today.   Hoping youre turning a corner now.

thinking of you - try not to stress about sitting waiting at drs, i do it and try to distract myself by talking to someone else waiting!

Hi Karen 

Thanks. I've been thinking of you going for your appointment today. I hope he doesn't keep you waiting! 

That's great news you slept through til 5 even though you were anxious at bedtime. A sure sign things are settling for you! 

Hope the doc is supposed and encouraging and doesn't make any changes for you as you seem to be on the right road! 

X

Hi Nikki ,

Drs went ok, no changes, still thinks I'm doing well !

I hope your day is going well.

Hubby came to Drs with me then went back to work.

I managed to go into the supermarket to put my prescription into the pharmacy.

Then I caught the bus into town, just by luck my daughter was on the bus!

Had a quick look in town then caught bus home..... first time I've done that for months!!

Hugs 🤗 

Hi Ann,

Was sat waiting again!

No changes though, Dr still thinks I'm doing well?!

Hubby came to Drs with me then went back to work.

I went into the supermarket and put my prescription into the pharmacy, then caught the bus into town, just by chance my daughter was on the bus!

Had a quick look in town then caught bus home, first time I've done that for months !!

I hope your day is going ok and your managing to enjoy having your family there.

Hugs 🤗 

That's all such good stuff Karen!

How lovely to bump into your daughter on the bus too.

Great you're not having to make any changes and that doc thinks you're still making progress; it certainly seems that way!

I'm having my usual restless but exhausted day. Keep getting waves of nausea too.

I get these waves of feeling sleepy and like I could just relax bit then my body is so on edge. And my mind won't calm enough to rest properly.

Things do feel different, just not better! I am less distressed by it all but I do feel quite numb as well. 

It's all very odd. 

Do you find conversations difficult or did you? I feel too on edge to properly engage.

X

Yes I did and still do to a certain extent find conversations difficult, even my GP picked up on that, I find avoid people sometimes so I don't have to engage in conversation.

I really  wish the nausea and restless, agitated feelings would ease up for you, I know exactly how they feel I used to physically shake too, couldn't keep still even when sitting my legs would be bouncing up and down and trembling.

I just wish my night sleep was better!

When do you see or speak to a GP again?

Hugs 🤗 

I don't have an appt to see my GP. I will make one but it's likely to be late Sept. in the meantime I've got the appt with the mental health team. I'm not impressed by the lack of continuity from my gp. 

As far as conversations go, at some points in the day I can have a conversation and at others, it's very hard. I noticed that today. My frame of mind fluctuates through the day! 

I'm shattered now as I'm the last couple of hours my dad popped in, my neighbour rang on the door, I had a phone call and I've made dinner. 

I realise I missed my diazepam today. That happens one day last week too. I don't want to take it now. But I'm worried as well!

Could do with some advice on the diazepam because I'm taking less than I was in July I've realised and not in any kind of pattern really. My anxiety and restlessness is so evident I don't know what's due to less diazepam and what's the other stuff!

X

How much Diazepam were you taking and how much are you taking now?

I was taking upto 14/16mgs a day a few months ago was being given 5mg and 2mg ones then.

Now only get 2mg ones and take anything between 8 to 12mgs a day.

If you've been taking it regularly upto then maybe dropping to much maybe contributing to how your feeling?

So difficult to know isn't it?

Well done you! I havent managed to be on a bus for ages. Hopefully stabilising now for you.

Really chuffed for you

 

Thank you Ann 😊

I only started using them regularly at the start of July when my Mirtazipine was upped and it was horrendous! 

I took between 2mg and 8mg a day, one day I took 10mg, but the average was probably 6mg a day. Though the odd day I didn't take any.

I've been recording my intake the past three weeks. I took 13x2mg three weeks ago (so nearly 4mg a day), 8x2mg last week (so more like 2mg a day) and am heading for the same this week. 

Just realised as I'm typing that what a drop that is! I had no idea til Marleen (or Edwina?) said about diazepam withdrawal and didn't even know til I read up on it last week how careful you have to be!

I keep being told by professionals to only use as needed. If I really have to. But early July was told to just make use of them!

I increasingly don't like how I feel once the calming effect has worn off and I don't want to be taking more, I'd rather eek off them.

It feels like as I'm feeling so rough anyway it doesn't matter! 

X

Sounds like Diazepam withdrawal too maybe?

I think it was Marleen who said about it.

It's about time your new regime started to show some signs of helping if it's going to surely?

I know these things take a while though.

Me too, i am on 2 or 4 a day 5 at night.

I think thats what is holding me back though cpn says its minor 

really want off it

Yes three weeks today I've been on new regime. 

I can't tell yet. Maybe it's the diazepam thing that's shielding what's truly happening with the main meds?! 

This evening I feel quite happy and calm ish and am laughing with my son. Still underlying bit of anxiety but I'm having a window of feeling ok.

This afternoon I was lying on my bed wrapped in my duvet waiting for anxiety to pass like a storm!  X

I understand Ann.

I might have it all wrong but I don't like it.

I think because I'm on the Zopiclone now too it just feels too much. 

You know your body don't you. Even if it's a confusing time. X

I glad your feeling a little better at the moment, I hate it when it makes you just want to shut it off and it won't go.

It's horrid isn't it. I have such bad spells in the day but also some clearer spells. Fluctuates so much. 

Thank you for listening to me! 

I hope your evening is going ok? X

How long have you been on the diazepam Ann?

How's your day been? X

Aww you don't have to thank me, we're all in this together ??

I had quite a nice evening, it was my eldest granddaughters birthday today so have spent the evening at my daughters, just got home.

Hope you have a restful night xx

That sounds absolutely lovely Karen! 😊 How wonderful you're spending time with family now as I know you said it'd been weeks or months since you'd done that sort of thing.

I hope your granddaughter had a lovely birthday. 

Wishing you more good sleep tonight 🤗

Thank you Nikki she had a lovely birthday.

How are we all doing today ladies?

I managed to sleep through to 5.30!!

Still getting anxiety pangs but not quite as bad as a few weeks ago, really hope this is a sign the medication is starting to work.

I see the mental health nurse specialist on Friday, see what he has to say!

I hope your managing to enjoy having your family there Ann.

Nikki I hope you feel a little calmer today.

Hugs 🤗 

Hi ladies!

Karen that's such wonderful news your sleep is returning! I'm so pleased for you. I know 5.30 is still an early start and you're getting pangs of anxiety but it all seems to be moving in the right direction for you 🤗

I slept ok again last night. Got through my usual morning anxiety and have had times when I've been able to rest a bit and watch tv. Still with anxiety present but I'm getting these sort of woozy calmer moments. I noticed that yesterday too.

I've just got out to my local mini supermarket for some supplies for the weekend.

I'm still thinking over the diazepam thing as I know I have to keep taking them but would like to reduce slowly. They seem to unsettle me more a couple hours after taking one and I'd like to not have that. But feel stuck. I know you can't advise, I'm just hoping I can reduce by maybe a % a week. 

It's absolutely beautiful weather down here in the South West. 

X

Hi Nikki ,

I think we have along way to go still, but it sounds like you are seeing signs of improvement too, they may only seem little but hopefully it's a push in the right direction.

I reduced my Diazepam very slowly, still some days I may only need 4 mg ones and other days 6 of them but my GP says it's going in the right direction!

That's good you managed to pop to the shop, all little steps in the right direction!

Just hoping this is a step forward with my sleep but no two nights are the same!!

Hope your day goes well and you have more calmer moments.

Hugs 🤗 

Yes, I understand, still a way to go and they're tentative little steps aren't they. No two days are the same for me either (same as your nights) and my nights were bumpy in the week.

I have been really fancying food the last two or three days which I'm going to take as a good sign. Though it depends how my nausea is, I actually wanted to eat today more than didn't want to because of how I'm feeling. 

I think your sleep is a good sign. I know how you feel as it's not black and white and so you feel cautious.

X

That's a good sign about your eating, fingers crossed 🤞 

We just have to take each day as it comes don't we, I try not to think further than today or I will start panicking!

Just popped out for a coffee. 

My dad , step mum and aunt popped round earlier , which went ok.

Don't feel like doing a awful lot but don't want hubby to feel another bank holiday is wasted either , though I know he understands.  

Yes, a day at a time, sometimes an hour at a time!

I'm glad you're seeing more of family. And you got out for a coffee! Well done. 

Hard to balance doing things for/ with loved ones and what you feel you need to do. It's wonderful he understands.

Thankfully my son is happy to have a quiet day as he saw his mates in the week and he just wants to chill. 

I'm hoping to be able to rest a bit this afternoon.

I hope you can have a bit of quiet time X
