Lack of sleep
Posted , 11 users are following.
I recently split my 7mg dose of prednisone to 5mg at bedtime and then 2 mg at lunchtime. I am now waking at 4:00am 😫
I did take the 7mg at bedtime and had no problem sleeping but found I was in pain during the day.
The pain has gone but the sleep pattern has been disturbed. Should I return to taking my steroids at bedtime ? Any suggestions welcome!
When I wake at 4:00am I’m having a cold sweat!

I'd try taking the 5mg at 4am when you wake and the 2mg a couple of hours before you expect the pain to return. And THAT of course will assure you sleep until later!!!!!

Hi Anne , I take my pred 5mg at 7am and 4mg at 7pm ans sleep well, better that when I took 10mg all at one. I also do the reducing at night as I find this ok, I do know some people don't sleep well and some do.
I find the pain in the morning, is. Neck and shoulders go after about thirty mins after my five mg dose, and usually lasts till the seven pm dose depending what I have been doing that day
someone better informed than me will bealing to let you know more.
