Guest guest Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Geri, I am assumming you mean corticosteroids. Here is some good info on Steriods, on page 2, it lists adverse effects. http://arthritis.about.com/cs/steroids/a/corticosteroids.htm In the 80's I was talking Predisone orally for severe allergy attack. I was on too high of a dose (my Internist saw this - from the Allergist report) and was totally emotionally " raw " from the Presidone. Besides all of the side effects noted in the above link, he wanted me to scale back my dose to the lowest possible dose, because steroids can also make bones week. I was on Presidone for about 90 days at that time. He wrote out a " backoff " program for me, consulted with the Allergist, and suggested I find a different Allergist to discuss a different therapy. I slowly came off Predisone, established a relationship with a recommended Allergist, and began recieving weekly injections to control my response to allergens. (dust, molds, pollens, grasses, bees,synthetic fabrics,etc.) So here it is some 20+ years later and I don't have any allergy problems at all.
