I used to have insomnia really, really bad. I don't know if it was my meds or just life. Now I get up so early in the am (4am) that I am ready for bed at 7pm!! Try getting up early? Get yourself into...
Tee hee... I haven't laughed like that in a while... I agree... get rid of the dog and your husband!! :tongue: Well, at least the dog(s), animals just seem to compound the situation...I don't even...
:cry: I have a similar reaction when I am exposed to light (especially flourescents). It could also be associated with migraines... been having alot of those lately too, not always "painful" but...
I undestand everyone's advice - and it is good advice.... but...... when my little man gets "pookey" (which isn't very often) I just cuddle the heck out him because he does that for me when I am...
I was actually just thinking about the possibility of "germs" and disease connection.... I have taken Cipro before when I seemed to be flaring out of control and I felt 100% better for a long time...
/community/emoticons/shakehead.gif Good morning everyone... I read this forum alot due to my husband recently being diagnosed with Crohn's back in November 2008. I belong over in the Lupus forum. He...
It could be a variety of things.... from my experience.. 1) Too much citrus 2) Allergic reaction to another food 3) Allergic reaction to meds 4) Yeast/Thrush (white bumps on back of tongue for this...
Hmmm... interesting... I have the same problem from time to time ... I have always thought it was due to my asthma or a plueral rub? Usually worse at nighttime....

I have had this problem too... switch brands and see if it helps... you may have to pay a couple extra bucks but it beats burning your scalp. I don't think Garnier brand burned, but I can't remember...
/community/emoticons/shocked.gif mmmm..... gross!!! I vote you get something different.. I use a spray too by Banana Boat but it doesn't seem to last as long as a lotion does, just easier and...
Good morning.... Looking real quick at your signature.... I know that Plaquinil makes you super sun sensitive... I don't know about your other meds... You should always put on sun block (head to toe)...
The sun can be so extremely dangerous to people with Lupus, especially if they are taking Plaquenil, that I don't want any of the "newbies" getting the wrong idea about Vitamin D. There is a theory...
Huh.... really? Because only 5 minutes in the sun will put most Lupies into a wild flare....
There is an endless supply of information on the internet that explains Vit D3 role in the human body. I take mine in liquid form from a specific maker. I have tried several pills and a different...
There have been lots of posts on here about Vitamin D. Yes, Vitamin D comes from sunshine and dairy, but we all are supposed to stay well protected from the sun, direct lightbulbs, and florescents or...
I saw several references to bladder problems in the postings - I too had frequency issues, greatly interfering with life. I ignored it for years, focusing on the Lupus issues first. I finally...
I used to have this problem alot, all over body 'cramping' and spasms/ticks.... I had my doctor check my Vit D levels (Vit D regulates metabolism, muscles, joint function). He wasn't really convinced...
My levels were low, and I have been taking a supplement for about 6 months now. I feel awesome!! My fatigue isn't as bad, and my bones and muscles don't ache near as much as they used to. I am...
