I had insomnia for the first month on pregnisone and then it slowly began to subside. My face gets flushed but otherwise, I am not bothered too much.

My mestinon only last about 3 hours, after which I get the sweats and lighheadness. I think it is the return of the muscle weakness that makes me feel this way. I got this before pregnisone and I have not noticed it getting any worse. Before mestinon, I got this feeling all the time and the sweating was so profuse, I felt like I was going to pass out. Now I only get it when the mestinon starts wearing off.

After 4 weeks on high dose pregnisone, the neuro is starting to wean me off. I am to reduce my dose by 5 mg a day every 2 weeks. It will take me about 5 months to be weaned off pregnisone.
