I ended up taking the first dose of the pred at 2am. I just didnt want to wait any longer. (I also get impatient for presents at Xmas)

I didnt have any problem sleeping, but then I went to bed about 20 minutes after I took the pred. I did wake up several times during the night, but I slept from a little after 230am till nearly 1pm (it's 1250 right now)

My hand is still seriously numb, toes are still tingly, leg is still numb, but I didnt really expect that first little pile of pills to do anything for all that yet. Weird that I feel a teeny bit dizzy and nauseous...wonder if that's a side effect?
