Jenny continues to improve. From today her Mxt is injected, we've been told that this will help reduce the blood clots. Her sleeping problems persist. Pred is down to 20mg daily.

"You are my sunshine", he used to sing to me... "you make me happy, when skies are grey" I still answer him.
Rest in Peace, my brave Batman and take care of your weggies from heaven, until we meet again.
Insomnia chronic insomnia every night.
Glad to hear Jenny is starting to improve, but sorry to hear she can't sleep. Unfortunately, insomnia is a side effect of prednisone and my least favorite one. I haven't been below 20mg of pred yet, but hopefully as she lowers the dose she will be able to sleep again. I can sometimes get in a few short 20 minute naps throughout the day, I know, it doesn't compare to the feeling of a full nights sleep, but it's something. I tried sleep meds that can be found at the local pharmacy, my doctor even prescribed me Ambien... it hasn't helped me, but might be worth a try. I would talk to your doctor, who knows, maybe they can prescribe her something to help her get some sleep.
Nothing can break you; you are much stronger than you think... look at what you've already survived.
