Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Last night was like any other night except for the fact i didnt take my prednisone before bed...HUGE MISTAKE! I couldnt sleep at all. when it was time for me to get up i couldnt. This hasnt happened to me in years...My son still had to get to school. SO, i just sucked it up and forced myself thru the pain. No offense meant to you older ones, but i felt 99 and decrepid. I got him halfway to school and he walked the rest of the way with a classmate and her mom. Let me remind you i had a 2 yr old in tow that wanted to jump in every puddle she saw... lol kids. Anyways, i came back and got her breakfast, took 3 tylenol pm and passed out on the couch while she wached cartoons. All of this while my husband slept like a rock... how can i get him more involved? How can i wean myself off of the prednisone? its the only thing that seems to help these days.... ty for listening. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going to give him a crash course in RA knowlege. Maybe, just maybe some will sink into that thick skull of his I was on prednisone for about a year before i was diagnosed with RA. Weaned off of it for a long time but started back on around xmas. Only on 10 mg once a day so its not alot, but enough. Awesome for reducing inflamation and swelling, but if you take it long term it can cause side effects. I plan to wean off before i get to my rheumy appointment in March. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Hi , sorry you have had such a bad day, I have never been on Prednisone but have heard much about it not much good though. How long have you been on it for it to have such an affect from missing one dose? I hope tommorrow is a better day for you. I don't know how you can gain more understanding from your hubby, I find that although my hubby understands it depends on his own priorities as to how much support I receive with the boys, house etc. He is currently only working part time, three evenings a week so is home every day, but some days he is helpful and others he mind as well be on a different planet.. Take care N2kids@... wrote: Last night was like any other night except for the fact i didnt take my prednisone before bed...HUGE MISTAKE!
