Thanks to everyone who answered my steroidal maintenance question.
So far I've learned i might become cranky,have weight issues around my neck,become diabetic,lose sleep,start feeling suicidal ,get moon face,become literally thin skinned ( me ? ,never π) grow even more facial hair than I already do ( any more hair and ill be doing the foxy bingo ads on the tv) have kidney and liver problems,excess acid leading to ulcers, literally do have to go to soecsavers,sleepless nights, get dry skin on my legs π¦΅, all the above just to breath easier π€ its still worth it though .One interesting psychological aspect of this steroid use ( after 1 week of 30mg,then the usual tapering course for 15days plus my now 10mg for 4 days) is believe it or not an inclination to have a cigarette π, yup I cant believe it myself butcits true, I never will obviously but it seems the more my breathing improves the more I want a cig.
Once again thanks everyone for taking the time ( which is precious) to answer my query, your all π 's in my book
Dave

I have to laugh π- because youβd think they had found a better steroid that didnβt come with a suitcase full of side effects !!! I totally get it about the cigarette too. Sometimes I wonder if Iβd have the breath to puff a cigarette- damn things I stopped over 10 years ago! My biggest regret in life!!! (Smoking not stopping)
Never mind Dave, it will all be worth it. Wishing you well. Now you come to mention it, I remember Pete yearning for a cigarette back then too. He didnβt succumb though. Xxxπππππππ₯π½π₯¬π₯π πππ₯π§π§π₯π§π³π₯―ππππππππ―π₯ͺπ₯π€π±
I think all those symptoms might make me more appealable ,after all who doesn't want a pot bellied suicidal sagging necked spotty dried legged angry hairy man who doesn't sleep on their arm π€£
