Nights of Slumber
Many of my sleepless hours were the consequence of the chemotherapy and surgery. One health question resulted from another. At least the cancer was deadly, and the insomnia is manageable. The elixir of lavender and eucalyptus has induced calmness and nights of slumber. What a wonder!

I was curious have you ever tried melatonin? On some really rough nights with my severe itching of eczema these past 8 yrs, I got used to sleeping with my dailyaudiobible.com. I love it & his voice so calming. You read the Bible through in a year, audibly of course. And at the end there are prayer request you can call and or hear others’ requests. I hope you are doing much better. How long have you been going through this battle?

I’ve taken melatonin for 20+ years. The last few months, I started taking the herb that has valerian, hops, and chamomile, 125 mg each ingredient. I didn’t take melatonin, and I slept through the night!! So this is my newest thing for sleep!

Oh, OK. I’ve never had Melatonin make me sleepy…any form. 😦 I’m glad that herb mix is helping you. I didn’t have any luck with that either. Blessings!

It’s not fictional?
We almost lost you?
That can’t happen. Not yet. You’ve still got billions of lives to inspire with your posts and pictures and yourself.
So, keep fighting, Miriam.
Glad the sleeping issue has been handled though.

There are links – if you click chemotherapy, it takes you to my post about the treatment. I wrote 9 posts so far for the process. The first 2 would explain that due to the delay of referral, the cancer went from stage 2 to stage 4. The treatment was vigorous. At one point, my husband thought he would have lost me!! Thank you for your kind concern!!

Even if you don’t write a post, when you have some thoughts such as your comments to me, write them down and file them. I write notes and file in my computer. Years later, I was surprised of what I wrote when I was younger. I’m still a student but learning something for fun. I take classes for retirees!!

I am so glad the essential oils are helping you sleep. They are wonderful. I love the Australian Bush Flower Remedies too – if you can get them where you are. They can really help with stress, fears and insomnia. They don’t interfere with more conventional treatments either.

You are most welcome. If you can’t get the Australian remedies you will be sure to be able to get some of the Bach Flower Remedies. Rescue Remedy might really help you stabilize when you have had a big treatment. Ditto – Emergency Essence in the Australian ones. Sending you love 🙂

I soak the oil in the cotton strip that come with the humidifier, then put the strip in the spout where the mist comes out, so the mist carries the oil in the air in the bedroom at night!
