Can't sleep!
Hi All,
I am sitting here tired as can be because of another long night of restless sleep. I am 2 weeks out of my 2 chemo treatment and doing much better than week 1. I had the Neulasta shot which did WONDERS for me. It made a huge difference in the way I felt and how my body reacted to these crazy drugs. I had minimal tummy issues and body aches but all manageable. My only issue now is the restless sleep. I can't seem to get more than 2 hrs straight without waking up. I am not waking up in pain or for any particular reason I just wake up. I wake up anywhere from every hour to every 2 hours. So I am exhausted all day. I haven't talked to my Onc yet which I plan on doing so but wanted to see if anyone out there has had this experience. I really don't want to have to take any more meds as I am very sensitive to meds that are supposed to make me drowsy. I have little ones in the house and want to be able to respond if something happens through out the night. Drowsy meds knock me out. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Thank you all in advance for all your help!
