Hey guys,

Thanks so much for the info. re. prednisone. I didn't make the connection between peak hours of cortisol and when a person should take their prednisone.

One day, a while back, I took my prednisone twice in one day by accident. What happened was the mestinon and prednisone look almost identical. Anyway, I had taken it really late at night and it messed up my sleep. It was pretty scary, and i even called poison control because I had basically taken 140 mgs of prednisone in one day- very freaky.

Anyway, this episode messed up my whole pill-taking schedule. I basically take my prednisone at around 3pm everyday. I realize now that this is obviously why I am having trouble sleeping, lots of side-effects, and maybe even why my MG symptoms don't get better until pretty late at night...DUH! lol

Thanks for the info., guys. I will take it tomorrow very early in the morning. Hopefully, this will improve things.

P.S. Are those new pumpkin carvings, Annie? They're really nice!

Nicky
