Hi, I have been on steroids (fludrocortisone) for about three months now. All I know is I had low blood pressure.

🤔 I’ve had a steroid injection into my eye muscle (Iritis), and Prednisone drops for the same.

I have been on Prednisolone since May 2020, I started on 60mg and I am now on 10mg, they gave me a great appetite which I was grateful for, the down side is my skin is so thin, I only have to catch on something and it results in a massive bruise and cut, then again they are learning me to try to be bit more careful
