steroids
Posted , 5 users are following.
i have lost computer access for awhile but am back on line, but i lost all my contacts etc . slowly finding things again. i came off steroids alltogether, stoping them slowly over a period of time, then a few days later pain started in my legs and worsened and they became inflammed. i had gotten very intensive inflammation of the legs. phelbitis. the doctor suggested that fluid had been building up because of taking the steroids over a period of time, stopping the steroids made the inflamation occur. i am now on morphine for the intense pain, this has been going on for some three months now. steroids are a no no for me at this stage.mobility has worsened, and i am virtually not able to walk far at all. feel as if i have entered another dark tunnel. but keep smiling.

I hope the pain has lessened by now. I don't have any experience of this but I'm sure others will reply as well with their experiences.
I am taking some natural supplements that can help with inflammation such as Omega-3 fish oil, tumeric capsules, glucosamine. I don't know if any of those would be worth trying for you.
Very best wishes, Enid

I would love to come and see you - but currently am laid up with pseudo-gout. Can't take the volteral, so Consultant has proscibed Glucosimine and Chondiniton (spelling)
Hang on in there - you are one feisty lady.

What do I do with the pair of you.
Pseudo gout - caused by calcium crystals in the knee that is why it false.
I will be having a drink on the 'twin-day' but it is now a 'triplet' day, Liam will be 8, I will be into my third overdraft year, and I am too much a lady to ask.
Eileen it is ouch, I thought I knew what pain was - or mayne I had just forgot.
