Side effects of a low dose of steroids

[joyce69]

Hello everyone, I’ve read on here a number of times about recent research which said that the side effects of being on a low dose of steroids, eg under 5mgs per day, were minimal. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find the link please?

Thank you in advance

We do have some very IT literate and organised members. I am definitely not one of them!!

I am also in awe of your efficiency PMRpro. It helps so to have these very understanding friends. Yes, PMRpro I am not too bad but balancing the DOSE after the OP is still with me. Tiredness is a factor but then again that I would suggest those over 80 (83) feel it. and I know PMR affects all - we never quite forget.

Patience and thanks for all the support from fellow sufferers and non- sufferers now. Take care PMRPRO, lay out on your Balcony and take in some Italian sunshine. John
