Hello lovely ladies here. I hope this is a good place to drop by to find info and chat.
Sorry if this is brief; don’t want to burden you with my health, family and personal problems on my first post. Take care all.
Thanks for reading.

Particularly bad heartburn tonight.
I may spontaneously combust, and the worst part is that it's my own fault for eating the wrong things at the wrong time.

I never learn!

Me too. A few weeks ago I had a craving for oranges. Never used to I eat them because they triggered my migraines but I’m ok with them now. But watching tv in the early hours of the morning I fancied eating another one ( I have one after my tea) and then another one. Have had awful indigestion since…

Welcome Aprilgem andSasperilla. I hope you will both find lots to interest you on here. Generally speaking, posters are kind and give well thought out advice.

In bed about 12.40am and woke up about 4am, went to sleep again and up about 8am. I thought winter is better than summer because of the cold. Sometimes my tinnitus can get on my nerves. I tried not to eat late or I get a bloated stomach.
It's good to share,thanks.
Can't believe it is nearly 2pm, time flies...

To new members the old saying a problem shared is a problem halved. Well at least you get a bit of weight off your shoulders here so a warm welcome from me.

Sasperilla Fri 22-Nov-24 00:07:03

Thanks for the welcome!! Gransnet is great!

MissAdventure Fri 22-Nov-24 00:01:21

Ah yes, I've had that problem, too.
Go to bed at a sensible time, then lie there like a lemon, until a non sensible time.

It's nice to know there are friendly people in and out of this site. It's like a drop in cafe, community.
'MissAdventure '. If I go to bed early, I be tossing and turning. I think it is my imbalance hormones.

Hi to other newbies too. We can learn and grow here.
I'm a night owl, should be going to bed early, naughty me.

Welcome Aprilgem you will find every subject under the sun will be covered and you will probably learn a fair bit also as I have. I live in London and have been on GN for many years.

Welcome Aprilgem. On GN you will find the friends you've yet to meet and as Babs has posted when you've not been yourself and feel like crying, you're in good company flowers x

Thank you all, gosh... feel like crying. I haven't been myself.. It is difficult to talk to some female friends, family or hubby.

You will be in good company here.
