Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 the doc doesn't say much. He, like all the others in the past, doesn't really know what to do since all the drugs that should help me either make me very ill, or do nothing. He's just keeping me on steroids till my next appointment at the end of April. I already take a handfull of pills for pain and sleep-aid at bedtime. I sleep...I just never get rested. > Steroids are a stimulant. Gee, I don't know what to say except maybe > recomend a sleeping pill at night.
