@treehouse5437 I take a steroid dose every Saturday morning, as part of my myeloma treatment plan. Increased sense of energy by late afternoon that continues usually to Monday morning. Poor sleeping on Saturday night. Better appetite from Saturday to Monday.

Everyone can have different responses from steroids. What are you taking, and at what dose? My oncologist told me once we established a routine, that he wanted me to take the lowest dose possible to get the same effects.

Dexamethasone
4mg

x 5 Fri day after treatment

I'm type 2 very controlled my blood sugar average #100- 130 but the steroids definitely raise it a few days. 🫤
