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!!

Over and Underactive...
According to what I have read, from the Lupus Foundation of America website. Lupus is not like or related to HIV (Human Immune Deficiency Virus) or AIDS. In AIDS and HIV the immune system is UNDERACTIVE, while in Lupus the immune system is OVERACTIVE.
According to http://immunedisorders.homestead.com/
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking???"
Maybe, there is a cure for AIDS and HIV. Maybe, it is through other people's disease. Maybe, Lupus, if only known how people acquire it, might be the solution for AIDS and HIV. But then, it's kinda hard to think that I would like to have AIDS than to keep having Lupus. So maybe, its only one way around.
I would like to think that someday Lupus could be the cure for AIDS. :) Imagine how many Africans out there who has the disease since they were babies. So hopefully, we soon will get a better understanding of LUPUS, then maybe, it could be a way to save other people's lives... :D

According to http://immunedisorders.homestead.com/
Immune dysfunction classically comes in two types:
- Underactive, weakened immune function, or immunodeficiency.
- Overactive function, autoimmunity or autoimmmune disease
