The beautiful song by the PIXIES was the only thing that would sooth me before bed. It was the only lullaby that I tried, that I needed to try.
The last time I had a Solu-Medrol treatment, my doctor asked me if I wanted to try a once–a–month course. I went ahead with this.
Taking doses of Solu-Medrol so close together was a big mistake. I had a very bad reaction to the second dose of Solu-Medrol, after I got home. I would park myself into a corner, where I would sit and just stare into space for hours, for example. I had seen a horrid sick image in a stupid book of death scene photos from the 1940s… this image haunted me. This, along with the insomnia caused by the Solu-Medrol… I began listening to this short song by the Pixies every night before bed. To relax me before bed, and give me something to focus on while I waited for sleep to come., and sang this in my head.
Another thing, I discovered herbal calms. These tablets are chewable, so I would keep a bottle under my pillow. I am losing function in my hands and arms these days, so my husband gives me one as he is getting me into bed, every night now. I love them!
