A few hours

[matthew55]

Last night I took pills and woke up at one, two, three and gave up, and got up, at four. My nose wouldn't clear so at eight I was online asking my GP for help. Since then my nose has completely cleared and I am mellow again. It's always worth it to wait. 😉😁😍🤗xxx

The annoying thing is I find my nose is blocked when I lie down. ok when I get up. If my nose is running it stops, when I can eventually get to sleep, but starts up when I wake up.

Disturbed sleep is not nice.Since my NIV I only manage three hours before waking.Then usually settle for another 3 hours.Never seem to get a long stretch of unbroken sleep anymore.I guess I will get used to it.
Best wishes Matthew for a better nights sleep.

As long as those gnomes aren't up partying with a boombox. xx

Don't know if it helps, but, nursie told Dad to prop up with pillows to help sleep because of being blocked up (in his case throat filling with secretions), so not lying flat... but I bet you all know that already....

I sleep on four goose down pillows! In all seriousness of my nose don't work my throat gets blocked and I can't breath 😟😢😁😀xx

Ellie your response to Matthew made me smile but in a serious note could your eyegazer actually make a phone call? can your voice be heard down the phone? - I ask as I have organised Albert to do the Voice Banking, as yet hes not showing any interest and is not doing it - probably because his speech is ok at the mo but who knows how much longer for

Matthew how do you stay upright on those pillows? I just slide down the bed.

... could your eyegazer actually make a phone call? can your voice be heard down the phone?

I don't have a SIM card, so no phone calls per se, nor WhatsApp, but I can video call over WiFi if necessary (tends not to be for a chat!) and yes, the other person can hear my text-to-speech output from the PC.

Some tablets and PCs have a SIM card drive, or there are adapters which allow a SIM to be used in a PC, so he could text or phone that way. xx

By any chance could you be allergic to your sumptuous posh pillows??

[denise]

hey ellie you might be onto something there. as an asthma sufferer we are told synthetic pillows and bedding.

Luxury costs. It's all in how you stack them 😉🤭😁😍xx

I shall have to try harder. I always find myself at the bottom of the pile. 😊
