Oh, the late nights.... Most people don't lose all their hair with cytoxan-- it just gets thin. It'll grow back once she's off it, but it might be curlier or a different texture. I hope tonight is better.

There's nothing daft about it, Baron, understanding goes a long way! I remember when I first realized that just because my doctors could list the side effects of a drug, it didn't mean they understood what it was like to experience that side effect. I'd leave there feeling empty and not validated, even though they had said all the right words.
I was a very empathetic doctor before I got Wegs--I had experienced illness and injuries that many people don't. But when I get to practice again, my experiences will enable me to truly tell patients "I understand."

I want you fro a doctor!
Baron-we all feel for you. sleepless nights are a given for me with the pred and especially the night after taking the MXT

Whew! The old days, because there was nothing good about them, and they got old!

Not able to sleep, really is a bummer. I watched late night shows, reality shows, movies and news! When your on prednisone it is hard to concentrate it's like you have attention deficit disorder.

You nailed it!!! ADD that's it!! Pred induced ADD. The forgetfulness is frustrating too. That is the hardest thing to deal with for me.

Oh the late nights, I still get them some times. I do the same, watch movies, tv, go onto internet, read, some others knit, paint, play instruments (that one you may want to do if you live in a house). Forgetfulness, don't let us started, we all suffer one way or another. These days I realy must concentrate and take my meds at the same time every day, if I don't I just plain forget and dont take them.

Ah yes.....the lack of sleep or too much sleep
Sometimes I have a hard time finding a happy medium
