Dear hubby knows that irritability (to put it mildly) comes along with my taking pred. Apparently, I bit his head off one too many times Saturday.  He said "go to the bedroom and take a nap--you're tired and cranky".  I am pretty sure he pointed down the hall even. smilewinkgrin    I'm 48 years old and I got sent to my room!

He was right though---I fell asleep at 3pm and woke up at 7pm when he opened the door.  I was a much cheerier person after that long nap!  And I was allowed to have dinner, but no dessert (he is also trying to help me keep from eating too much on the meds).

Bless him for his patience and the ability to laugh at it all afterward.

My husband has my permission to call for a time-out when I get volatile. :-)

haha Lucky! I wish someone would send me to my room. I got this way last week on everyone. Only we were on vacation, so no one could send me anywhere. I'm sure they wish they could have, I was brutal. Darn steroids!

I needed that Saturday. Was so darn mean to everyone. I even made my youngest daughter who is 21 cry. It was like since I am in a mood and crying someone else needs to also. I blame a lot on the Abilify I started taking. Not taking it any more and will tell my GI on May 6th why. I had horrible dreams and one full blown nightmare. No thanks.

You have a great hubby! I do too. My hubby puts up with my bad attitude, lol.
I would have ditched myself long ago!

Oh, how lovely! Wish I could do that for a day! :)

I was so cranky yesterday (not Crohn's or medications related.....two university courses, working full time and managing a household) that I sent myself to bed.....I couldn't even stand to be around me.

Today was much better!

Habs - too funny! Thanks for the laugh! Prednisone is evil (but mostly a necessary evil). Glad you have someone in your corner that supports you and is there to help, even when the prednisone rage comes!

yeah i have days where i just have to take a nap. i'm kinda snarky at the best of times, though usually i'm good-natured about it. the more tired i am, the meaner my snark gets. every now and then i'll catch myself being downright mean, and apologize. napping often helps, though unfortunately it's not always an option.

on prednisone i lose the snark and become a profanity-spewing madman with volume control issues. keep the meanness, though.

For years we've noticed that I go ballistic a few days before a flare, before I have other signs of impending sickness. It has happened regardless of medications. Apparently I'm not the only one. I've always wondered what exactly is happening physiologically to cause this.
