Use of oramorph

Jim, as a fellow Jim on steroids, allow me to confirm that the belly does indeed stem from steroids. Now, as to sleep, I had very little luck sleeping whilst on 95mg of prednisone daily. When I mentioned it, my haematologist thought for about 5 seconds and prescribed me Trazodone. Now the drug is intended to be an anti-depressant and anti-anxiety, but is well known for its hypnotic (sleep producing) effect. He described it as a "clean drug" and well proved over the decades. There is no risk of developing a habit and it may essentially be used a s needed. 50mg has me walking the same as 3-4 pints would, so I cut them in half, to 25mg. I should think it is worth asking about. They take some of the edge off of the steroids, as well.

Cheers,

Jim
