Well, I contacted two of my docs -- and heard back from both of their nurses. Both advised to continue on the 5-day course of prednisone, so I'll do that. Neither one indicated whether they thought I was in an actual flare, or just had a pseudo. But, I'm guessing, if they want me to continue on the steroids, they are suspecting a flare.
No continued symptoms of dizziness, and, no additional symptoms. So, if it's a flare, it is certainly one of the mildest ones that I've ever experienced. And, if it's a flare, it's worth taking the 5-day course of steroids to keep it from blowing up into something more serious.
I only slept 20 minutes the first night on prednisone (Sunday). But, last night, I slept well. However, I'm requesting a Rx of Trazedone to help with sleeping, in case I have trouble the remaining 3 nights. Won't take it, unless I need it. But, 20 minutes of sleep in 24 hours just is not enough.
