I haven't had IV steroids - but I have had very large doses of oral Dexmethasone over a two month period and I totally understand your concern.

While on this, I had mega hair loss, folliculitis (acne like others can't imagine), mood swings, anger, emotional outbursts, huge weight gain, major sleeping problems, and bleeding at the slightest touch.

This was prior and post brain surgery - I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Hoping for you that the side effects of IV steroids aren't this bad.
