Hi JustOnce. I too am in ATL. Been having internet trouble, so haven't been on forum much, but welcome to our forum. I take 8mg pred daily (I know you're saying: woooo). Sunday, I finished 6 days of medrol. I've never been on 60 mg of pred and don't want to know, but even the 32mg of steroids kept me awake for a few days. It happens to all of us- we anticipate it, will never embrace it and catch sleep when we can. Some keep movies available, magazines and if you can concentrate, books for these all nighters. If you're working it
really sucks. BTW, benadryl is an anti-histamine that has sleep as a side effect. Your body will develop a tolerance pretty quickly, then you won't sleep. I'm sorry you're so wired. I would send you lots of calming sleep vibes, but it's 4:30 AM and I'm up too. So, I'm sending lots of empathy and ((((hugs)))! Love, Butterflake
