I don't like them, but it's the only way I get out of an exacerbation.

Luckily, my exacerbation rate has slowed down in the past 2 years! Yeah!
Gosh Cheryl, I am just the opposite. I do get the headache. My blood pressure hits the roof as does my "mood"

If I was to call my daughter and say Hey, I need you to come stay a week, I'm getting steroid therapy, she would hang up on me and hire someone to do it!!
