Guest guest Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Hello all; That is it: my 12th day on 1.5mg (I started with 3mg but side effects were too heavy for me) expired yesterday. So at night I took again 3mg to try to catch up. I spent a good night. I woke up at 0300 but stayed in bed and I think I was back to sleep within 10mins or so... No wild dreams; no sweat, just fine. Today I have more stiffness than before but I assume it has to do with the adjustment and that it will go away within few days. I still take Prednisolone (10mg) in the morning (~0900) but have dropped the Chemotherapy immuno-modulators (methotrexate) since, now, 13 days. I doubt my Neurologist will have me under an MRI (cost) so I rely on my own feelings. I can resume as: * 1st day @ 3mg = Too much side effects (awake at 0300 and heart palpitations) * Day 2 - 12 @ 1.5mg = 2 days with some sleep problems but ok; not much to notice; maybe a bit more of 'elasticity' in the lower limbs. * Day 13 @3mg = Fine so far; the 'jump' to 3mg seemed ok. A bit more stiffness, no noticeable changes. - My first 'side-effects' might have been due to a 'too radical' change in my body system. Less days @ 1.5mg may have done it; but I cant tell. I will keep posting as (if) any noticeable changes occurs. Cheers all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
