butt pain; Roger-lolol; allergies-prednisone!!

May 13, 2002

-You have to FALL asleep to have a sleep study done--lolol; I would

love to have a sleep study, but, I cannot sleep in a strange place (takes me

about a week). Last winter, I allowed myself to sleep until I felt rested,

meaning that I spent 20 hours a day in bed TRYING to sleep; that's not my

only FMS--but, some nights it feels like the worst...

I am not sure whether I have the 'butt pain' or not--it sure is a trigger

point for me, if my husband happens to even touch that area--it sends

shooting spasmy type pains down my legs, even the cat brushing against me or

a blanket touching the area.....will cause the pain!

The only antihistamine that i'm able to take is actifed; I take one every

other night-it causes me to be very drowsy for about 2 hours. Seldane

caused me to have horrible chest pains--I was also taking erythromycin at

the time-but the reaction scared me.

The doctor gave me a shot of steroid at her office and put me on

prednisone--I took ONE dose of it, and I wigged out-got very

aggressive/ornery and angry for no reason--I ended up locking myself in the

bedroom until it wore off, as I knew that my family didn't deserve the grief

I was giving them. If I had known how to use my husbands rifle, i'd have

had no problem using it! I tell the doctors that prednisone is one drug

that I can never take again (unless I am safe in the hospital).
