HELP PLEASE

[Guest guest]

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
