Title: So drowsy
Post by: MarieB on October 16, 2023, 10:03:58 AM
Hello to you all,
For about two weeks I've been barely staying awake during the day.  I'm getting extra sleep at night also.  The only change I've made in the last few months is taking OFEV for my lungs. 
Have you experienced this and did it go away? 
Any feedback appreciated. 
Marie

Hi :)

No doubt Sjogrens can cause severe fatigue. Sometimes autoimmune stuff travels in packs. Have you had your thyroid tested? I ask because the sleepiest I ever was, was when I developed Hashimotos Thyroiditis. Once medicated I still got fatigued but not like it was untreated. Sometimes the medication needs adjusted.

I hope you get some other answers and will be interested to see what is said.

Take care - Scottie  :)

Thank you Scottie.  I hadn't thought about that.
