insomnia
first, it's great that you are doing so well on the prednisone.
and most likely you will do even better, once you have a good night sleep.
prednisone can cause insomnia, but those are things that can help (if you haven't done them yet)-
take the prednisone in the early hours of the morning. try even 6:00 AM.
try to have a relaxed evening and relaxed enviroment in your bed-room, with a sort of "fixed" schedule (like we do with our little kids, where they have a certain routine each night).
try to eat a light meal for dinner, with a sip of alcohol ( I am talking about a small sip or two, if it is not contraindicated for other reasons, no more).
and hopefully your dose will be gradually decreased and then it will get better.
