I've stared on steroids of 20mg, this has reduced the inflation however I've not slept in nearly 3 weeks probably only getting 2 hours a night, I just wondered if this was the norm, my GP px me diazepam but this is not working at all so stopped taking them. Any solutions for the sleeping

Once PMR and prednisone I didn't sleep at all. I tried several types of sleeping pills and am on a strong one now but this last week I'm awake at 2-230am then toss and turn. A lot of this is stress, we are decluttering to sell. Even when it does work I get 5 hours sometimes more which I found made a difference in waking up with pain. More sleep I wake up pain free.
I too started at 20mg however it was 10mg am and 5mg at 3pm which may help you to sleep by taking a lower dose and earlier. I'm now at 17.5
Good luck

We have a mix of people on the forum, many of whom are from from north America, so you may find reference to drugs used over the pond as well.
