The prednisone will be easier on your tummy if you take it with food--or a glass of milk works really well as well.
They have you taking at bedtime???? That's craziness. Of course it's gonna mess with your sleep. I always take it in the morning. Are you taking it twice a day?
Today it was supposed to be two in the morning, one before lunch, one before dinner, and two at bedtime. One pill a day gets subtracted for the next five days. Unless it's for the next six days. I haven't slept since about 11:30 yesterday morning, and my math skills weren't all that great to begin with.
Yeah...that's a typical taper. Call and see if you can take it all at once. Or at least all before like 3pm. Tell them it made you have trouble sleeping.
Who prescribed this? Your regular doctor? ER?
I was checking in, hoping for baby news!
Okay, back to work for now...but I'm coming back shortly
Huh. I posted a reply to vw, but it appears not to have shown up. It was prescribed by the urgent care doctor, since my doctor was out of the office and I've been unthrilled with her PA.
eta: Gonna try the sleep thing again.
Push, Jess, Push! Come on, baby!
Get some sleep, libkitty, and let me know if you have any other questions.
Push 'im out! Push 'im out! Waaaaaaaaay out!!
Go, Jess, Go!
(alas, I must now depart to the land of no b.org. I will have to wait until this p.m. for updates.)
I was hoping to hear that Baby Alter had arrived - c'mon kid! we've got cable out here!
libkitty, IIRC, one of the things about grapefruit and certain medications is that it seems to increase the effect of the meds - but not predictably or consistently. I've got the issue with one of my meds - I think it's the Lisinopril - so I had to give up my morning grapefruit juice.
