Hug
I can relate to your situation on so many levels. I found for me, my mp3 with upbeat music, and for night-time, relaxing music. If I didn't have my music, I don't know what I'd do...hang in there and find some music that you can relax to, or find some with a beat to get you up...I hope this will be helpful....
I’m With You
I suffered severe panic attacks for years I have insomnia too. Taking seven omega 3 vitamins a day took the panic away and some folic acid. I am not one to believe in vitamin therapy, but, swear to you it works!
Hug
Welcome. Hugs Nancy

Close Lupus
I've had lupus for about 17 years, that the doctor's think anyway. Been diagnosed for about 2 or 3 I think. I've lost track. I also have another autoimmune disease that I've been diagnosed with for 15 years, that was being treated before that ...so ...

Open Interstitial Cystitis (IC)
I have IC because of Lupus ..right now, we are trying to avoid having to go down the path of self catheterization, which my urologist said is a probablility.
Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
too many trauma's to list. The MAJOR ones ... finding my step father after he committed suicide, molestation by friend at age 12, by (different)friends father at 15, and then raped at 22. The loss of a baby at 20 weeks pregnant. There are several other events that my doc says, had none of the above happened, I'd still have the PTSD dx ...
