well the steroids haven't worked.. had 7 hits from 12 am to now 4.30 pm!! i swear my neck is hurting so bad the shaddows are pounding i feel so sick and i'm tired but won't close my eyes because iv'e done that once today and got hit bad.. i think i'm having a nervous breakdown i just want to cry.. but that triggers it too.. iv'e had 2 kids with no pain relief and been tattooed for 5 hours and slept through it! so how come this crap is completley unmanagable?

sorry i'm venting x

yeah i did join that site many moons ago!!
i have prednisolone 5 mg started out with 6 for 2 days, 5 for two days and so on..... i know this wasnt enough to knock it off like last time it was 12 before but i have a ear and throat infection (which i think brought this cycle on) so doc wouldn't do a high dose but also i'm so highly stressed to on top of getting sick so i spose a cycle was inevitable!
