A member asked:
Should i be drinking gatorade for electrolytes while on 50mg of prednisone? the side effects are driving me nuts. i cannot remember how long its been since ive had a good night sleep without my brain being awake all night. ill still ask my doctor.

Steroids and sleep: Corticosteroid drugs like prednisone commonly cause sleep disturbance, especially with high doses. Electrolye and fluid intake (Gatorade or any other drink) has no effect on this, assuming you otherwise have a balanced diet. Good plan to ask your doctor, but don't worry about Gatorade.
