UPDATE!

Are you feeling any better Catch? I got thinking about you not sleeping and it may be a side from the steroids, but I wanted to give you the advice my doc gave me when I was on a course of 'roids.

When you wake up, GET UP.
Don't stay in bed if you don't fall asleep again. Get up and do something. Clean, read, do something, but don't stay in bed! When you start to yawn, then go back to bed.

Steroids will wreak havoc with your system. I was up for 80 hours the first time I was on them. I COULDN'T sleep. The doc said next time he would give me something for it, but I wasn't at the point where I believed in better living through chemistry yet and I refused during my second round.

I came around and asked for sleep meds the third time I only used them until I got back on schedule, but they helped me get there!
