Naive or what??

I actually thought taking steroids would probably protect you somewhat against 'other' inflammation - how wrong I was.

Two years ago I landed in hospital with sepcis (scarey)!!  I was in hospital for two weeks.  I have now just returned from another two weeks in hospital, this time with massive inflamation in esophagus, stomach and bowel problems.  I had two gastroscopies, two endoscopies and an enterscopie.  I've had it up to the teeth with 'scopies'.

I'm as weak as a kitten and in a lot of pain.  Any suggestions?

    I'm so terribly sorry you are going through so much, I know the Preds do weaken our immune system, I am like a maniac when I go out, I have antibiotic hand wipes which I use all the time lol  

    So far so good, except for a severe throat infection after my operation, but that got better fast:

    Wish you the best :
