brokenspirit: Hi Dru, Yes I do have sleep apnea among other sleep problems from the lupus thinking it wants parts of my body that I am not ready to le it have control of. That scold is for the lupus. I joke about it because it helps me deal with it. My meds especially the prednisone we have to work around. But I still feel pretty spry most of the time. Hope you have a great day.
Keep up the humor and keep fighting it. A woman with MS that I met while I was selling Craftmatic beds once told me, "Don't ever let a disease own you. The moment you do that, it has control."
She had been extremely mobile for years with it, until one day she gave in and gave the MS "ownership"...she has fought even harder ever since, and still remains positive, but she regrets deeply that moment of weakness because it did make it harder. Very wise words that I'll never forget.
