Sleep Deprived. Part 2

Still not able to get a straight sleep of at least 6 hours. Still wakes up in the middle of the night and awake for at least 2 or 3 hours after. Still waking up at the same time though. I think it is because I took a nap or something in the middle of the day. I am thinking of trying this, sleep if you can thing.

I don't exactly know what it is called, but one of my classmate some semesters ago is doing it. He sleeps anywhere, anytime, if he can. Like you I saw him sleeping for a good 10 minutes in class. But in total, he would only sleep like 3 hours a day. it's like he has a power nap all the time that keeps he alert and awake. But I don't think I would be that intense. I still try to go back to sleep every time i wake up. But then sometimes I would think of something to do that I forgot or would like to see. I blame Facebook for being sleep deprived! LOL

I would try to discuss it my doctor when I see her again.

Also, I took 25mg of Prednisone today, some of my joints, which don't hurt even when I have my Lupus flare up, are hurting. And I think it's because I went from a 30 to 25 mg in 2 weeks, and 25 to 20 in a week. I don't know for sure, but I am hurting. And since my doctor told me that if I am not feeling well about I just raise it back to what it was. So, i only have been drinking 20mg for 3 or 4 days. Sucks. I would really like to be out of the steroid pill. It's a bit hard to be weaned down from it. But then that is the only thing that's actually controlling my skin rashes and joint pain. Noticed too, that I have been eating a lot, so I am trying to control that... hehehe

So far, and as far as I am concerned. I think I am getting good health. :) so thank God!!

Sleep deprived...

So these past few days, I have been sleep deprived... I only sleep for four hours and wakes up. Feels refreshed and normal... It's weird.. I love to sleep. I guess my body, with all the pills and medications that I have been drinking my body got too much energy stored.

The thing is, my brain isn't catching up with my body... It still needs more sleep. So I have noticed. I've been forgetful this week. I even forgot my medication yesterday! ;(

Right now, I have been trying to go to sleep normally. I try to make myself tired to be able to go to sleep for at least longer than 6 hours. Alas, to no avail, I woke up at 2 am today and fell back to sleep around 4. Woke up at 6:10 to get ready for my medical appointment...

It's almost 12pm now... I'm so sleepy... Will go sleep maybe...

Lazy Weekend..

It's not all the time that I get something to share. Like yesterday. There is nothing really important yesterday. Just a lazy Saturday in Los Angeles. I have good news though. Yesterday I started taking 25mg of Prednisone. My doctors are starting to wean me down on the steroids. But they put me on a medicine that I can't be pregnant while taking it. They advise me to let them first figure out what I have, make sure that it is Lupus. If they know what they are dealing with it would be better for me.

They decided that it is better to put me in contraceptive, so right now I am still figuring out what kind I would like to try. I think I would rather try the pill, since it is daily, and I am not sure when my next period will be. I am not really comfortable in putting in something in there, and then it has to stay there (?!?) So maybe the patch... Maybe the pill. Definitely not depo-provera or lunelle, since it actually stops you from having periods, and makes you gain weight too! Knowing me, I will probably gain weight and be like a TON!!! Oh well, all these will be discussed once I am with the gynecologist. :)

If you have any questions, comments and well wishes, don't hesitate to comment below. :)

Thanks!

Look at my prescriptions... :(

It's a lot.. :(( I don't want to drink pills anymore.. :((
