Steroids I love um.

Ok a bit controversial Im sure. But I must say I am having the best couple of pain free weeks. Was worried about weight gain but I have actually lost a lb. No side effects thus far. Except happiness. Even contemplating going swimming next week havent done that in 3 years due to pain factor after wards. (shoulders neck arms ) I used to go 4 times a week before this Bxxxxy RA took hold. Of course the proof of the pudding will be how long after the course has finished will this last.

Passing on good vibes to you all.

Thats not good. xx

The worst thing about steroids, if you take high doses, or use them for a long time, they cause Osteoporosis. I now have 4 fractures in my spine.
