Taking Pred. on time!

I appreciate this comment may be obvious to many, but I'm sure lots of people don't do it, and should.

Use your mobile alarm set every day for the time you take your Pred. Since I started doing this about a month ago, it has saved my bacon on several occasions! John

Good tip John. I find that my sleeping pattern alters too and wonder about the effect of an hour or two's difference in taking it.

I take my pred at 10pm every evening which I find easy as it is just after supper. I am a night bird!

7:30 am and 7:30 pm for my split dosage works. Tried the later time (I'm a night owl too) but acid reflux acted up. Good advice to stay consistent with times,

Further to my 'set alarm on your iphone', just found what looks like a good app -Medisafe. This app not only has an alarm but also a box you tick to confirm you have taken you meds that day. If you take more than one, it allows you to add additional medications - worth a look. John
