Hi, we are finding it very difficult to contact Mum’s specialist for some advice. Not sure if anyone there can help. Mum has CIDP. She takes 200mg of Methylprednisolone once a week. However, as the week goes on, she suffers more and more from anxiety, as well as sleeping all the time. She’s wondering about both splitting and increasing the dosage (as the CIDP seems to be getting worse and worse). She is thinking of taking 200mg on Tuesday, then 100mg on Saturday. Would you have any idea if splitting the dosage like this is safe and if this might curb the anxiety? Also, could it be that her CIDP seems to be getting worse because of the cold? She has gotten worse since taking the medication (3 weeks ago), which worries us a little.
