2:23 am and prednisone has the reins. My normally racing minds is going even faster. I smell smoke.

Sleep seems impossible , I took my Xanax, a neurontin and I added a Doxipen.

I’ll eventually just stare at my wall and hope I accidentally doze off or just zone out a bit. But I must force myself to be horizontal to rest my body at least.

Unfortunately this is how my body reacts to prednisone. I only take it when I have no other choice. This Asthma flare is now in its 4th week so push came to shove.

I have 10 days worth, I doubt I can do full 10 days and my Doctor knows it screws up my Bipolar so I’m going to push hard to do at least 7 days. But I can’t do more than 5 days of zero sleep.. that would certainly put me IP

Fingers crossed this finally settles things down.

Oh yeah and I have the lovely side effect of always being hungry too ! Boo hiss !

Everything will taste like metal by day 5 ...... yet I’ll still want to eat like I’m on high dose zyprexa.

Woohoo go me !
