Question:
Answers:
iv steroids hav different side effects, it does increase ur blood sugar and u feel like u have excess energy, but individual differences, other people dont feel it. some of our patients said they feel achy all over but it passes within a week. i have heard the same symptom as yours and u may need to contact ur prescribing doctor just to see if he will prescribe anything to counteract that , otherwise try to observe urself if the symptom persists u may really need to see ur md
You should talk to a doctor just incase but it sounds reasonable
Yeah steroids tend to do that to you. Your doctor should have told you and given you something to help you sleep.
I would ring your doctor and ask for something to help you sleep. You can also go to your local drug store and ask the pharamist for some advice on something to help you sleep. Don't let the no sleeping go on for much longer and obviously avoid Cafffine
I am afraid this is a common effect of high dose steroids. It will wear of on its own. Do not be tempted to counter the effects with sleeping pills.
I hope it shortens your exacerbation.
