Dreams

[LittleJane]

I don't know if it's the PMR or the Prednisolone but I have been having long, involved and vivid dreams. Nothing like the dreams I normally have. Anyone else had this happen in the early weeks?

Yes - pred can cause cognitive changes of various sorts and it includes dreams. Usually it is at higher doses but everyone is different so doses like yours can do it too. And ironically, as you get to low doses and adrenal insufficiency becomes a feat, it can lead to dreaming again!

Yes, I have, really interesting dreams. Like films. I look forward to going to bed and I am quite far on in the PMR/GCA process.

That's it, like films 🙂

It was Pred for me

[Twopies]

yes, on low dose pred. Mine are horror stories, scarier than anything I’ve seen and so realistic it’s like I’m on drugs. Oh, wait…I am!

Me too - I call them my "complicated" dreams - very involved story lines! 🛌

[LittleJane]

This is really interesting. I thought it was something I ate 🙄
