Hello all!  Today is the 2nd day of the high dose prednisone that I am taking in hopes that it will break this migraine cycle that is going on almost 3 weeks now.  Yesterday I took 60mgs and today I took 60mgs.  I have been having a lot of problems with insomnia due to HA pain and not being able to turn my brain off when I go to bed at night.  Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me?:)  Well, the prednisone can really rev you up and cause you not to sleep.  It is now 10:55PM EST Friday night.  I have not slept a wink since Thursday morning about 8AM.  Last night was pretty productive though - I figured since I couldn't sleep I might as well clean up my apartment and write some letters and some other little things that needed to be done.  So today, my mom kept me very busy  and I didn't have even the slightest chance to snooze.  I didn't really feel like it though.  But as I sit here typing this, I am getting pretty sleepy and I haven't even taken my night-time meds.  This is a very good sign!

The very good thing is that the HA has improved greatly.  It is still there to a certain extent, but it is much less noticeable now.  My mom said that I look a lot better today.  Yesterday I didn't feel like eating at all, but today my appetite was better.  So I am keeping my fingers crossed that the prednisone will keep getting the job done and the preventatives will kick in and the "chronic" migraines will become more "episodic".  What a lovely thought?  Good night, sleep tight!
