I have only done this med by IV over 5 days. I too find that I don't sleep well but I have come to embrace that during the time it is going on. I get up at 4 AM and clean or cook or read. I find that it passes after about 2 weeks. The other side affect I get is nausea. I am just about to start another round and this time I am requesting a medication to help with that.

I do have to say that I found that it was worth the discomfort. It put some of my more active symptoms to bed for a couple of months.

I had a 3 day course about a year ago, insomnia was a side effect and felt rubbish in general but it sorted out the lhermittes I'd been suffering so it was definitely worth it, gl

I had a 5 day course of this 3 times at the start of my MS life. I suffered from sleep issues only when I foolishly ignored advice I was given and took the tablets later on in the day. I also experienced a racing heart at times after the course was through.
I took omeprazole with it to combat nausea.

Well it's 4:17am here and no sleep yet and last night I was still awake at 5am! I don't seem anymore tired during the day as a result but I am pretty twitchy and very emotional too. I will see the five days out but depending on result over time may not be too keen next time 😒

The last time I was on Steroids they added sweet stuff to it it was a little bit better
