i hate this, i know im complaining again but...

i just have to
 
i CANT sleep, i wonder if i have insomnia now
 
i wake up at least 2-3 times EVERYNIGHT, without fail
last night i was up FOUR times
 
i keep a list of the times i wake up, in my diet binder
i went to bed at 9
woke up at 11:45
again at 1:05
then at 2:48
and lastly, 3:53
 
after that 3:53, i tried going back to sleep until my alarm would go off at 5:20 but i couldnt
my tummy hurt so bad, and i had this GROSS taste in my mouth, felt like i was gonna pass out
 
this started back when i was on 90 mg of pred, i had been wakin up more than 6 times a night then, soakin wet each time, u wouldnt believe how many times i had to change my clothes, of course when we lowered the pred, it isnt so bad
 
now i change ONCE, the other times i just have to go pee, weird, i dont drink anything before bed, i dont eat or drink after 7:30 at night. so idk where i get the pee, lol.
 
it just ANNOYS me so much, maybe thats why im always super cranky
idk, do u ppl know any ways to sleep better/easier????
If this is an ongoing concern you need to bring this up with your parents and your medical team.
How much pred are you on now?  It often causes difficulty with sleep.  It also make you retain water so that could be where the pee is coming from.
 
Blood sugar issues can cause these problems as well...
well JasmineRain, my parents knew about this since it had started
and then we told the doctor
 
he decided not to do anything
he sayd it was the pred
and that once we lower it, it should be better
 
which it is, the sweating is better
waking up alot still tho
 
4 times last night, again...
 
anyways i take 30 mg of pred now
so, thats not alot is it?
