I am taking methylprednisolone.Man that stuff there keeps me awake and I have all kinds of energy. I am on day 5 and I have to take it 2 more days. The other kicker is I am taking a mild dose of amitriptylin which will bring me down once I stop the methylprednisolone. Take all that and then drink 2 beers and you say what neck,shoulder, wrist, and numpness in 2 fingers. What bad about it is that you start to feel allright and end up doing more than you should. Like today I got up early , cut about 3 arcres of grass, used a chain saw, burnt some wood piles, drove over 2 hours and here it is getting late at night and I can't go to sleep. Tommorrow I get to make my appointment with a neuro dr to go over my mri and c-span xrays. Boy I sm going to feel it once the meds wear off.
