I dont how much longer I can last if only the side effects wernt soooo bad. I cant sleep I eat constantly, And I am in the worst mood so grumpy it is pathetic. I still have five days to go lowering the dose every three days!!! Sorry but I had to grump a little. I wish there was a diet or something to reduce the side effects.~Mary~

Hang in there Mary.

They put me on steroids once for wheezing/panic attacks where I couldn't breathe. Those side effects, especially feeling starving DId subside and the medicine worked. Just not so fun at first.

Hope you feel better real soon.

Oh gosh, I've never had steroids so I don't know.
Hang in there {{Mary}} and here's hoping those days go quickly.

Big Hugs from me too, Mary:)

I've had to take steroids on many occasions (in the form of a dose pak) for

chronic bronchitis. Yuck, yuck, yuck. I honestly don't think I EVER finished

a whole pack, and ALWAYS had to stay out of work at least one day due to the

side effects.

But whoa ~ don't listen to me....you WILL start feeling better

soon, as the med works and the dosage goes down

Hope you are MUCH MUCH better tomorrow. Hang in there!!!
