Here it is very early in the a.m. (1:30) and I am totally, 100% awake. I have been laying in my bed, eyes wide open for almost 3 hours and can't sleep. Had my chemo today. Compared to my previous chemos this one should be a breeze. 2 injections, 1 in each side of my butt and then I'm done. Takes all of 15 minutes to accomplish. I have to hold pressure to each site for 10 minutes because I'm on an anticoagulant. No pressure = hematoma and I can't sit well if that happens. There are no side-effects from this med. Or, at least I haven't identified any for me. So why am I here whining? Because I can't sleep. I've tried every thing = pain med, muscle relaxer, and sleeping pill. All have failed me tonight. Now I'm drinking herbal tea. This isn't an unusual event. 3 or 4 nights a week I can't sleep. But about 3 a.m. I will go back to bed and sleep until 7 a.m. which is my usual time to be awake. Okay, any suggestions? Find anything different that works for you? I am at my wits end. Thanks take GOoD care Zoe
