Lupus and Tiredness

[bballhorn]

Respect to all the ladies with lupus out there. I just wanted to suggest that ever since I have been taking Vyvanse I have been able to cut my sleep from 10 hours to about 7 or 8 comfortable. It hasn't afftect my levels at all. Only my white blood cell count is out of the range. Ive been taking them for 3 years now. Good Luck!

Never heard of it but thanks for the info...I miss my hours of sleep

Just googled Vyvanse and it's a drug for ADHD?! This would very much be something the rheumy would need to prescribe and monitor. It's not as simple as cutting number of hours sleep for lupus sufferers, there are so many reasons from chronic fatigue to drug side effects that influence it!

I don't really, well I don't think I do have sleep problems if anything I get too much sleep which makes me irritable and even more sleepy?

Never heard of this drug though - looking at replies to your post I don't think its one for me.

I manage my current drugs, with my GP if needed.

Thank you though for a happy post not full of doom and gloom
