Hi

I have been given these by the pain team, does anyone take them as if so do they feel so sleepy that if they give in to it they can sleep for hours! It is worrying me as I drive and work still at the moment, the plus side it seems to help pain more :)

Gentle hugs

The sleepiness soon wears off as you build up a tolerance to it. One plus a valium gave me 12 hours sleep at the start but now they have no effect on me sleep wise. Obviously not since its now 3.🕐 and haven't a hope of sleep even after a sleeping tablet as well.

Has anyone who has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia found that taking prednisolone or hydrocortisone has taken the pain away?

If the pain does go, does this mean that it wasn't fibromyalgia, and possibly some other condition?
