Glad to hear you finally got some sleep! I didn't! I still have to talk with my doctor about that but I'll wait until my appointment with my new specialist on Monday. Hope you have a good day at work!

-- Nerve Medicine and Sleep

Hi all,For those that have been asking, the nerve med I started this week is Dexamethasone. It's been working on the nerves and depriving me of sleep. He had me on twice a day, but yesterday decreased it to just morning so I can have a chance of sleeping. he added a mild sleeping pill last night and I think I got between 5-6 uninterrupted hours...that's the most in over a week. I'm not back up to snuff, but I think I'll be able to stay awake at my desk today.Woke up with the leg pain again since cutting the nerve med at night, but I'll trade pain for sleep any day.Have a good one everybody."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!"
