Pete has taken steroids for over 20 years and did suffer weight gain and moon face but he still takes 10mg each day. When lots of drugs are used, Pete takes many, it's sometimes hard to pinpoint problems.

Hope you get some answers Jane. Xxxxx

Hi Jane - yes to the blurred vision, plus feeling very hyper and shaky and getting very little sleep. Just about to complete a course and will be very glad when they are out of my system. They do seem to affect people in different ways but if you are really concerned then do check with your GP - our surgery will arrange a telephone call from a doctor or practice nurse so that you can discuss this kind of thing.
