Steroids and Caffeine don't mix
So I'm sick, and I've been prescribed an oral steroid to boost my immune response. And since yesterday was my first day on the regime, I naturally thought nothing when I got a fountain drink of Mt. Dew when I met up with my Algorithm study group at 8pm last night.
I was counting sheep till 2:30. I decided I didn't want to make things worse by throwing sleeping pills into the mix.
I can't seem to escape that Wednesday is my "hell day" -- both classes (and possibly a lab) and a full shift of work. And I can't seem to get to bed on time. But thankfully, steroids and caffeine mean I'm not really lagging behind either. Its a weird state of energy. An elevated state of mood.
So I'm sorry if I seem edgy to anyone. I haven't quite been myself.
