I realized I haven't done a journal entry for a bit but there really is only 3 people that seem to read them & I've updated you in a separate e-mail on my life's journey at the present time. You know I guess us Lupus folks all have maybe one or two issues that constantly seem to remain the thorn in our sides, that thing that you just can't seem to shake absolutely no matter what you do. But I kind of thought of all the options out there why does mine have to be not having a reguular balanced sleep pattern and/or amt of sleep. I usually can go weeks & weeks without a night where I'll sleep say a solid 5 hrs or more.  I usually seem to wake every 2 hrs or even every hr & a half.  I guess thats why I have so much time where I never really feel refreshed in the morning. But on a somewhat better note I've just started trying manganese for my restless leg symdrome.  My legs run their marathons easily 25 days out of a month, sometimes for 10 + days continuously.  Me being a bit anti-drug, I refuse to mention it to my dr who will write out another prescripton.  I've goten 2 recommendations fr trusted sources that manganese is known for helping this so I figure hey why not. Well on this note my eyes feel like they're being weighed down with sand bags.  It's only 6:30 & I like to try & stay awake and sort of alert till at least 8:30ish.  So I'm going to sign off for now.   I wish all of gods blessings and much happiness to all my friends here.
