Hey Everyone
I hope you are all well? Before christmas and the new year I was feeling reasonably good I was sleeping well after my new GP put me on amitriptyline and thought "yeah at last the light at the end of the tunnel" um how wrong was I. I forgot how this wonderful :worried: condition of ours likes to lead you into a false sense of security and then hit you like an express train.
Well, they decided to try out a christmas rota at work as they do one for the vets so the other staff had been pestering. The only thing was that it ment doing 2 11 hour shifts together then having 2 days off. I went along with it for everyone else and as I had been feeling pretty good I thought "it wont cause too much of a problem"
hno: First mistake. Second one was after doing these 2 mamoth shifts I then travelled 230miles to see my family for New Year.
So now I am flaring and feeling really tired. I think it is only a small flare (if you can call it that) as compared to some of you guys my lupus is "mild" (no organ involvement). My question is does anyone else find it really hard to sleep during a flare even if you feel you could sleep for a year?? I am so tired I am not quite sure where to put myself sometime? Any advice would be so welcome.
Thanks everyone
