-- Re: [RP] try 1 hour of sleep!!

Hi Glenda and Sherrie,I am sorry Sherrie that you are only getting 4 hrs. a night of sleep. In May of 99 I was on Decadron cuz of my TM and once I got in rehab I only slept ! hour a night. I never had any bags under my eyes or looked like I had that little sleep. It lasted for over 3 weeks til I was down on my dose of it. I was lucky cuz where my rehab was I had a locked secured patio I could go out into at night. When I did sleep and woke up I felt like I had slept for 4-5 hrs., I was so surprised to see one hr had gone by. I was so glad to get home and I could watch cable all day, I was pretty much in bed all the time then. I was glad to get back to sleeping but I really didn't mind it, I figured what else did I have to do then, I live alone. I had a relapse the next Feb and was on pred. but I had no sleeping problem then. If it isn't one thing it is another, I only hope things get better for you. Just when you back on your feet, it hits you again. I guess we had better have alot of padding on our butts or a big pillow to land on. LOLTake care and hope this year will be better then last year and you are both in my prayers.
