Risks with steroids…

I was on pulse steroids for 21 months from June 2002-Fed 2004, 1,000 mg once a week. I wished I had been warned about more than I was. I did not take any extra calcium, just a daily vitamin, so my bone densities aren’t great for my age. I was warned of the sleepless nights, & that was very true. I was never warned of my cataract risks, had surgery for those on both eyes in Sept of 2004, when I could no longer read or enjoy television. I gained 80# during those 21 months, although I don’t believe I overate (was sendentary though.) BTW the weight does not fall off when one goes off of them, it is real weight gain. I also developed a bad rash over my entire body & still have scars to this day. I would have good energy the day of the infusion & then literally crash two days later. I wish I had never taken them…
