Actually, once a diagnosis was determined, adjustment was easier. I have systemic inflammation that can affect every organ. This wasn't obvious at first. Back then, some doctors attributed the amorphous, traveling symptoms to a psychological disorder. However, a few seemingly unrelated physical crises helped lead to a diagnosis. If the inflammation is treated, I'm OK. Wakefulness is often the earliest symptom of the inflammation--affects the CNS. In the earliest treatment regimen massive doses (40+) of prednisone were tried. With time, it became evident a much smaller dose does it for me. I'm lucky. The puzzle was solved and I lead a good life. However, to go back to your blog, if you can't sleep, get yourself checked out. Something might be cooking :))
