Arrrggghhhhh!!!!!

G*&D#$!!

I'm sick again.  My lungs are trying to drown me. Again.  This is my 3rd round of mega-dose prednisone, and a new antibiotic in about 7 weeks.   My lungs are happily bubbling and sizzling away.
THAT'S why I'm awake at this time of night.  The prednisone has me AWAKE!
It would be better if I were making money, but I'm not, because I can't work.  I'm also off my hrt meds, and with this load of steroids, I'm.....
UNHAPPY.

Not looking for sympathy here, just.......awake.  And peevish 

*wheeeze*

Thanks Cindy...Flan....

Yup, it, ummm......6:37 eastern standard time, and still up.  Slept for about 35 minutes. 
WHEEEEE!

Prednisone is evil, evil, evil.

That being said, it can be effective sometimes.

My friend next door also is have lung problems and is taking Prednisone.  And I have taken it before because of my COPD.  Prop your self up at a 45o angle and see if you can sleep some, Bev.

It is now about Noon your time and I hope you are fast asleep.

Get well soon, my Sister. :icon_hug: :icon_hug: :icon_hug: :icon_hug:

I hate prednisone..but it works well.  On the occasions I had to take it I counted the days until I could stop.  Made me eat like a horse on top of everything else :(

Hope you feel better soon.

I have COPD and that was a trick taught to me by my doctor.  It works because you are not have the fluids gather in the lungs.

Glad I could help.
