Travelling whilst taking steroids
Anyway, the reason for writing is that I am doing well with my reduction of
steroids
. I am now down to 4mg and don't want to spoil it... I really am feeling well at the moment. Can anyone tell me how I manage my intake with the time difference?

Steroids and Phlegm Samples
Hi, Does anyone know if it is ok to start a course of
steroids
, before giving a sample of phlegm. I took a course of antibiotics a few weeks ago and didn't feel the infection was totally cleared up, but I'm very reluctant to start a second course without knowing if I have an infection, or not.

Who uses steroids?
I have a question about
steroids
. I recently had whole brain radiation for a bunch of tiny Mets . Before this I was on Trodelvy. My biggest side effect forever has been nausea. Many of the meds for nausea don’t work for me. The only thing I haven’t tried are
steroids
.

feeling blue
I have never been this heavy in my life, and have had a lot of
steroids
in the few months. I’m wondering whether to give up until I’m off the
steroids
. Any advice appreciated.

It says it is now safe to stop taking
steroids
. My question is, as i have been on
steroids
for over 5 years should i just stop or continue reducing. I am now taking 2.5mg prednisolone reducing by 0.5mg every 2 weeks. Any help would be appreciated.
