I have SLE and no energy. Zero. I take my prednisone and plaquenil as prescribed. But I have no motivation. I am constantly exhausted. The thought of doing small things such as a load of laundry or even getting up to go get something makes me tired. Its starting to affect my job and my ability to do daily tasks. Are there certain things any of you guys do that help boost your energy levels?
Try Vitamins B12, B, C
I am the sameway. But like I notice during October when we can pick apples during the fall in the Midwest and you can eat as many as you want off the trees to try them while you pick them I eat probably 20-30 apples those days and I never feel so much better in my life. And when I sleep take my anxiety medication and it knocks me out for 4 hrs during the day after doing something already it gives me a huge second wind or even just a nap during the day but im prescribed 3 alprazolams and 2 Clonazepam a day so it's pretty easy to take a nap during the day at some point. And I have my cannabis license I use drops twice a day usually in morn and at night and at night with my alprazolam I sleep a few hrs then wake up all sweaty and have to shower and change sheets 3xs a night. Sucks that's why I need the nap during the day.
I feel the same way....I have school work, house work and my full time job plus a part time job. I don't have any motivation for any of that. I just want to lay on the couch all day!
Great question - I’d love to hear some tips too. I do find that eating fruit or a healthy (but not heavy) meal can perk me up for a bit.
