[QUOTE="Nanasearching, post: 19175, member: 104"] Thanks all who posted. As for me, I am still "detoxing" from the steroids I was given 4 weeks ago. I learned that Methylprednisone is 10 times the strength of prednisone. I didn't know that. So insted of giving me 8 mg a day, I was getting 80 mg!! And to think I told the walk in clinic doctor that I could not tolerate much more than 5 mg per day. Last week for the first time, My feet and legs swelled up so that I coldn't get shoes on and had to cut white cotton socks to get socks on. Now I am on Lasix too. I am told it is all part of the detoxing. I awas still getting only two to three hours of sleep at night, until last night, whe I wen tback on my Elavil 50 mg that usually knocks me out at night and it did. I hate to tell you what Ambien, a mild sleeping pill and water pill did to me the night before last! Lets just say that husband caught me in the hall closet and got me to the bathroom with out an incidence! I just can't take medications unles they are pediatric doses, have been that way all my life. P- doctor was amazed because the doss of Ambien was 12.5 mg and I took one half of that, so it doesn't take much to make me nutso. This year I feel old for the first time ever. Too many things out of my control. [/QUOTE]
