Hi Judy,

Sorry you have to deal with the 'roids. At least it's only a three day round. I hope it goes fast and the side effects are few.

I've had them twice, five day rounds with prednisone tapers after. They played havoc with my entire system. I had high blood sugar, fuzzy vision, thrush in my mouth (the first time, yuck) and EXTREMELY high blood pressure. The first time I ended up in ER and spent the night in ICU. They discovered I have a 50% blockage in one of the main arteries leading to my kidneys.

It was hell for me both times, not to mention the hell my husband went through for at least a month from my moodiness after the steroids.

I can feel your pain... ! Here's a big cyber hug for you!!
