Hello, my friends. I have been suffering from osteoarthritis for some time. I am on steroids. I know that they can be dangerous. I would like to know what side effects I can expect from these medications. I would appreciate if you could answer me this. Thanks for all your help.

Hi, there. If one exaggerates with a dosage, there can be side effects. They mostly look alike Cushing’s disease. There can be acne, high blood pressure, diabetes, swelling, etc. People with real Cushing resemble to “a potato with four tooth sticks”. Limbs are thin, while torso is large. Stomach ulcer is also something that is very common among people who take steroids. You should take H2 blockers and something similar that protects stomach. Osteoporosis is also possible. Adrenal suppression is something that you should be aware of. Talk to your rheumatologist about this.
