Steriods

Any Suggestions on How you Deal with the side effects of Predisone? I have 3 days left and the mood swings, insomia, ect. I just need to go on a deserted Island until Monday. Is this meds really worth all the side effects?:ybatty:

I wish I could give you an answer but I don't think there is one!

The side effects are horrible and it's all a case of pro's and con's I guess.

Pred really does work wonders on Crohn's symptoms, It's just unfortunate that it causes so many problems of its own, The only way I ever used to get around the insomnia was by going to the gym doing a ridiculous run or something which occasionally made me tired enough to sleep!.. otherwise, i'd just give up trying to sleep because it only made it harder so i just used the hours of the night to read a book or something. Thats how I read all the harry potter books.. lol

My family doctor prescribed Xanax to help with the sleeping.

I found it did wonders, only took it when needed but it helped.

Well today is the last day I had to take the predisone! I am so glad those 6 days are over. I sure hope it the med addressed what it was suppose do, because I feel no different other than the damn side effects of the steriods. I will not take those again.
