Steroids
My friend is on 65mg of pred.
steroids
. I read that he needs a low salt and low fat diet. Also he needs to eat foods with potassium and he should take Vitamin D. Should he speak to his GP even though the
steroids
are being managed by his neurologist?

Steroids problems
Last Friday I spoke to our respiratory nurse and explained I'd been fighting for breath and had used my SOS antibiotics. She told me to take the SOS Prednisilone as well. I did so but immediately my diabetic bloods shot up to 10.5 and have remained at that level since (for years, they've been between

Stronger than steroids
I have had nasty asthma attacks for four days now, as the weather has got cold again. The asthma nurse says that she will ask the consultants permission to move me on to something stronger than fostair 200, to avoid having to give more pred. Any ideas as to which inhaler she could be referring to

Statins & Steroids
I’ve been advised to take statins due to high cholesterol levels of 7.0, Serum triglycerides 2.3, HDL 2.5, HDL ratio 2.8, LDL 3.4, non HDL 4.5. I’m reluctant to take more meds but I’m unclear of the meaning of all the results and if I should take statins or not. I’ve read some articles stating that

blood sugar and prednisalone
Has anyone found that their blood sugar has increased since taking
steroids
? I’ve been on
steroids
for nearly 3 years and when I tapered to 2.5 my blood sugar was normal. After a flare and having to increase my
steroids
to 5ths (I’m now tapering again) my blood sugar test went up from 40 to 43.
