Lorra,

I was having a horrible time not being able to sleep. They doctor gave me Flexerill, which not only helps me sleep (welll, I get a more restful sleep LOL) but also helps with my horrible back spasms and some of the muscle pain.

HELP PLEASE

Hi to everyone!!! I have not had a major problem in a while with my lupus, just little things. Now everything seems to be falling apart. My doc. just increased my predisone to 40mg a day plus changed 3 other meds. He did this on Friday and I thought my sleeping habits were bad before. I was up all night fri. slept 3 hours sat afternoon, went to bed 5am this morning and was up at 10. and still cant sleep. I know I am tired but I cant get myself to sleep. Toss and turn and it feels like I am on speed as far as my brain goes. I take my sleeping pills sometimes and they dont seem to help alot. They just make me groggy the next day. I have had this for 12yrs and you would think I would be used to all the mess, but when I have been half way ok and then boom it hits. It has really gotten to me. So I guess I thought I was Super Woman and Super MOM all in one and now it trying to slow me down and I feel like I just

cant. I guess I think if I do I wont get going again. My 2 boys are really getting to me and I know that most of it is the meds. I feel like I just want to run and run far and the funny thing is I want to run to the beach. LOL I love the ocean. It is so peaceful to sit and just watch the tide and be in complete awe of Gods wonders. But I also know that I cant do that, cause I take me with me. I could really use some input on getting a hold on the predisone and the weight gain that has came with it. No to mention the shortness of breath and no enegry. love to all Lorra"The LUPIES Store" Come check out our store...http://www.cafepress.com/thelupies"The LUPIES Web Page"http://www.itzarion.com/lupusgroup.html"The LUPIES online photo albums!"
