Few weeks to go...can't sleep
I can't sleep!!!!
I have a few weeks to go and I have been waking up in the middle of the night for the past week. When I wake I am very alert...then I lay there trying to go back to sleep. I lay there for hours. I have also noticed that I am grinding my teeth. My teeth are very sore when I wake. I am thinking this is probably from being so nervous. If it is like this now, what will I be like when I only have a few days to go.
Anyone else dealing with this?

Me too!
And the unavoidable urge to cry! I even sobbed through an Always Ultra commercial recently
I think it's nervousness - and to be expected - or at least I hope it is

Hi Ladies: You all are experiencing normal symptoms! And unfortunately, it really doesn't get any better. The worst thing about the whole hyst is the waiting. I think the closer you get to your date, the more nervous you get. Remember, to post here and talk to your loved ones. Keep the line of communication open.

Few weeks to go...can't sleep
Hi All,
I guess I'm the odd girl out. I've had a couple of nights where I toss and turn, but in general I've slept pretty well. I've had weird dreams...like worrying about radiation....going to a hospital and not being able to find where I am supposed to be....
Now eating is another story...it's like a forget to eat and have very little appetite. I'm kind of hoping that the appetite thing will continue.

My TAH is scheduled for 9/11. I'm also very anxious, sleepless, nervous, and teary on a very regular basis. Sooo ready to get it all over with! My symptoms also seem to be getting worse, don't know if that's the nerves or progression. But best of luck to all of us and I'll keep coming here every day for the support and hopefully be able to give it back, as well.
Godspeed!
