love/hate relationship w/ Pred | Arthritis Information

 

OK, it's midnight and here I am...trolling on the computer.  BECAUSE we upped my PRED and I'm bouncing off the darn walls....

I need the stuff to be able to function, but I can't sleep on it.  I love pred, no I hate pred, no I love pred....

Sounds like me!  Only I don't get to troll on the computer because hubby works 2nd shift and insists on interupting my computer time when he comes home so he can game online.  So I play solitaire and make him shuffle my cards for me lol.  Of course I have to wait for him to get shot and THEN he shuffles while he is respawning.  MEN!  Shheeeeeeeeesh!  I keep telling him we can avoid all this if he would just buy me a laptop and let me put in a wireless network.  As you see...I'm still playing solitaire lol. 

I finally went to bed around 3:00.  There is no good to come of trolling the internet after midnight.

But,,,,my pain and inflammation is significantly decreased, so I'll do with the lack of sleep.

I have been on 20 mg. of pred. for the last eight months, I have been cutting down by 2.5 mg. over the last 3 months. I have been on Lunesta to sleep due to the pred. I have dropped from 3mg. of Lunesta to 2mg.of lunesta as my pred has dropped. I hope to be off the Lunesta when I'm off the pred. It has been my only way to sleep.I have the same love/hate relationship.  Everytime I have gotten significatly low on the pred. something has made me need to go back up.  Grrrrrrr
