Can I give steroid in the afternoon?

In following the advice on this list, and Dr.T's recommendation, DS will can start a steroid taper today or tomorrow. We had done a steroid burst last week withDoxycycline and it seemed that DS was in much better spirits (still not functioning or leaving the house, but it looked hopeful).

 

My problem, mornings are really tough for DS. Last week we would wake him, get him to eat some bread and take the steroid. Now it's 1 pm and he is stuck in the bathroom crying and I'm realizing the steroid was prob helping more than the Doxycycline and I would like to add the taper today.

 

Is it bad to give him steroids at 1 or 2pm if it says give in the morning? I wrote the question to the doctor, but maybe someone here has experience with steroids and why mornings are recommended.

 

Thanks in advance,
