I was on fludrocortisone years ago for a short while but it didn't help. Steroids are not generally given as an me
ME/CFS treatment in itself. X

Yes I realise that steriods can give you diabetis I am unfortunately having to take them due to another illness I have horrible tabs, I was wondering if anyone was taking them as I'm sure they don't help the Pvf making the symptoms of PVF worse in the end when on dif meds for dif things your system can feel like overload I'd love to come off them but get flare when taper down

I'm thin, in fact underweight and I got diabetes after taking steroids but I'd never put two and two together!
