-- 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. That goes for all the rest of you and your families.Love ya Sally DISCLAIMER!!WE ARE NOT MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, THEREFORE ANY INFORMATION THAT IS RECEIVED HERE IS FROM EXPERIENCE ONLY.

Sherri, without any meds to sleep, I can stay up 24 hours a day and never sleep. LOL I can do this for weeks and then one day will sleep all day to catch up, then back to no sleep. Even with the meds, I only sleep 3-4 hours a night.

About the hair, yes,mine did thin on pred and then started losing alot on the metho and it went really dry and straight. Then i started on the plaquenil and it got curly. LOL Go figure. lol

hugs
