Steroids!

I have been on steroids 90 days and off them now today. I feel so washed out and tearful.Is this normal after a long time on them? Also got a nasty asthma cough so no more pred if I can help it.x

aww glynis pet you must be totally fed up. whenever im on a long course (although never as long as that)ive always had slightly more energy. its only happened a few times that im tired after stopping them. is it not that you have been ill with your asthma for so long that you are so washed out or that you maybe stopped the steroids before being 100%? put your feet up and rest up xxx

I don't tend to feel like that when I come off steroids but I know some people can. Some people find when they are on steroids they have lots of energy and are euphoric but when they come off them they can feel a bit down. I used to have a friend who was like this- apparently her school teachers could definitely tell whether she was on or off them.

Well done on coming off them by the way and I hope the nasty cough goes away.
