When I have an extremely bad, bad attack my doctor has put me on steroids. It does give you some relieve and time to rest.
NOW, I have become allergic to bug bites. Which means a hospital trip. I have an Epipen to inject myself. They treat me at the hospital and I am given Methylprednisolone, 21 pills for 6 days.
The wonderful thing is I almost feel like a normal person taking them. My COPD is settled. I can do normal every day things. I can breathe without my oxygen. I know you develop the "moon" shaped face and gain weight from them. The way my disability is at this point, why would I care if I gain weight?
Please let me know...................................
