I just finished writing about not being able to sleep and how the sleeping med I take is no longer available and having to switch. About the mind, yeah, I also have all the aforementioned, chemo brain, CIPN, etc. and still the mind works overtime 24/7 unless medicated to sleep. So tonight when I take a drink with my sleep meds, It shall be a toast to a good nights sleep to all afflicted with this nasty crap!

I've tried hypnosis. While it works, I have to go to great lengths, like counting backwards from some number like 759, 5 numbers, then 3 numbers & alternating backwards from 5 to 3, until I'm in the zone so the hypnosis can do it's thing.<br /><br />It hasn't helped that last week I was stalked for 12 miles, at high speeds, down a dark, deserted & twisty country road. I knew a dead end was approaching, so I made a left turn & blasted through a rock wall, doing about 50. The freak followed me for a while there, too. He works at the local Emergency Room!! Comforting!<br /><br />Tomorrow I'm working out, then getting a massage, followed by a session of guided imagery. Haven't done Pilates, but have a DVD. Must get mat out!<br /><br />Sleep well, my friend, or at least try!<br />BrendaBreastCancerSisterhood.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954964330418898117noreply@blogger.com
