Is this normal, I'm good for the first part of the day, but as the day progress I start to go down hill, all I want to do is take a nap, but I don't feel right about that. I feel like I am wasting what time I have left. I am taking steriods as directed, but they wear off also half way in to the day. Plus I hate taking them, I have gained a ton(65lbs).

    Hi-- I looked around to see if you posted earlier. . . what have you been diagnosed with, and why are you taking steroids?

    Hi. Just a thought about taking naps and "wasting time". I suggest that you take the naps when you feel it's necessary. In my opinion, a nap would help you feel better. If you felt better, you should have a better quality of life, which is important. Give it a try.
