Hi
I was diagnosed with SLE a year ago, pneumonia, pleural effusion, chest infections, coughing etc. My GP has now sent me to a sleep clinic for many years I have snored severely, thinks I am a highly positive case for sleep apnea.
Anyone else have both? Are they connected in anyway?
Kind Regards
Louisa
I haven't heard that, I know that insomnia seems common in lupus patients. However, it looks like it might be according to this article from the Lupus Foundation of America:
Louisa 65 im in the same boat as you and waiting to go to ent for more tests i have a fostair inhalator which helps if i dont take this i know within a few hours as phlem builds up and chest infection starts i have S L E have had it for years yes you can have both
Do you have any relatives that also have lupus?If you could ask a lupus researcher one question what would it be?How long did it take for you to get a definitive diagnosis of lupus? 
Help understanding symptoms and blood results. 
Why do we have to PUSH and PUSH to get a diagnosis from MDs? I just don't understand and am close to giving up
