I practically lived on steriods for many years and I so feel your pain. Hope the effects wear off soon. I’d start so many projects with my manic energy but never finished anything because I couldn’t focus for that long.

Hope Amy is sleeping again soon.

Glad you are feeling so much better. Along with being wired, are you ravenously hungry all the time too? That’s how I am on steroids, I pile on the pounds and I reeee-ally don’t need them but it might be a good side effect for you . . .? Coming off them may find you crashing hard so be careful.

I’m sure Amy’s sleep routine will improve once the gluten is completely out of her system but may be worth a bit of medication at night to calm her down and settle any niggling pains she has.

My sister has terrible asthma and one winter she was on a constant regimen of steroids. I know the damage they can do. I’m glad you’re feeling better, and will be off them soon.

That’s a HUGE effort – a horse ring – thank god for manic energy.
Amy will sleep soon. I promise.

@Iceel; Horse Tweets! BahaHAHAHA!

Ummm…having a period means that you are healthy?

The only possible upside I can think of.

Ugh. No sleep. Torture.

Wheat (and grains) are one of the slowest foods to expel from our bodies.
Our allergy patients would still be experiencing the side effects of gluten for a week or more after stopping ingesting it. Amy is probably still ‘wired’ and coming down – don’t forget that stuff creates its very own addiction to ensure it’s a favourite and keeps on being wanted so she’s going cold turkey, too.

I hope Amy decides to get back into a regular sleep rhythm by the time you come off the steroids. Otherwise the majority of people are going to be very, very cranky.

Can’t wait to see pics of the arena. On the other blog, I suppose?

If it’s any consolation, I’ve haven’t had a period for as long as I can remember.

Oh goody. Horse tweets. (which must be awfully hard to do with hooves)

Okay. So I may get flamed for this, but have you thought about talking to Amy’s doctor about the possibly taking some melatonin? It might help.

I fucking hate periods.
