Don't Skip Doses of Prednisone

Today was pretty awful. The prednisone has been causing a bit of insomnia so Dr. Awadh suggested I switch to taking all of my doses in the morning instead of 2x a day. I was really stupid about it and didn't take ANY prednisone last night, thinking I would take all 40mg this morning. Well, of course I woke this morning with pretty bad joint pain again. My wrists were bad, both my ankles and feet. I could hardly lift Amelia. It made me sad because I had been thinking about how good I had been doing and it just brought into focus that all of the progress was from the prednisone. It isn't like I'm in remission.
