Quote of the Day “Think in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night.” ~ William Blake
Hello Friday!
I took my first three prednisone around 11 am Wednesday and ended up not being able to get to sleep that night/morning until around 3:45 am {and got up around 6am!}. But last night I managed to get to bed around midnight and woke up this morning around 6 {probably because I was able to take the pills earlier for the second dose}. So hopefully, with a little luck, I’ll be able to get 8 hours of rest tonight. At least that’s what the goal is.
Medication can do weird things to you, but thanks to the prednisone, the swelling in my legs and arms has gone down about 80% and the itching about the same…. Now, if I can just stay away from poison ivy for the rest of my life, things will be grand. 🙂
Thank you everyone for all your AWESOME suggestions! You rock.
Have a great weekend, stay out of trouble!

I’m so happy to read you’re feeling better! Ever since you showed your arm pic with the poison ivy like that, I’ve been thinking about it and very conscience about it, there’s quite a bit at our family farm I’m trying to deal with! I’ve never seen it look that terrible, I’m really glad it getting under control and you’re feeling better. Hope you get some sleep tonight. 🙂

Hi Mavis, I also have had to see a doctor for my poison ivy and I DID get the shot….but my eyes had begun to swell! And yes, that stuff can make you very irritable, so I warned my family. I also could not sleep, and I am one that normally sleeps 9 hours. The most funny part of this is I saw the same doctor a year earlier when I had an allergic reaction to the glue for my false eyelashes for Halloween – and burns on my eyelids from the flashy strips (think batteries) I wore. When the doctor saw me I was like “I can explain….” Needless to say, I am now VERY cautious about costumes. And I plan to wear full body protection when tackling poison ivy now!
Sandy says
I’ve had to take prednisone a couple of times in my life due to allergies. I refer to myself as “Martha Stewart on Acid”. I don’t sleep and I compulsively cook and clean. As a PSA I now apologize to everyone in advance when I have to take it.
Glad you a feeling better! If you can take Benadryl with the prednisone it may help stop the itching.
