does anyone else suffer from steroids/pain killers having adverse side affect?

Hi 1Molly

All powerful pain killers/steroids have side effects. If you are on more than one drug then the effects can be confusing as often drugs interact with each other. The effects can be more difficult to understand. Ask your GP and, if he seems at a loss, then ask your pharmacist.

You do not say if you have PMR or GCA or both. The advice contained in the drug pack gives you a run down of possible side effects. If you are still confused then come back to us with more info. so we can better evaluate what's going on with your condition/treatment. Sorry I can't be of more help at the mo. but we all have problems to one degree or another. Don't feel that you are on your own.

Best wishes, Pats.

I'm coping with Pred, but codeine and tramadol make me feel nauseous, so I am stuck with paracetamol.Luckily not in much pain nowadays.
