Hi to all fellow insomniacs I'm struggling with. Back pain at the moment and not sleeping well. I am in a lot of pain and was feeling very sorry for myself fortunately my oh with Alzheimer's is fast asleep at the moment so hence my visit to t.p. This thread really cheered me and I can also relate a funny incident. My oh said the other afternoon after being a bit fidgety and me asking if there was something he wanted he said whisky he has never drunk spirits so I said you don't mean whisky and mentionedcoffee yes that's it that's what I meant and we both laughed about it and joked he had invented a new name for coffee. Best wishes to everyone hope everyone can find the lighter side of this horrible illness even if it's only fleeting
