Steroids post op
Anyone have any negative experince with steroids post op ? I recently
started my second round of high dose oral and topical steriods for a tough
rash (The dermatoligst called it atopic dermatits, the generic catchall name
for an unknown rash) .
It cleared well with the first round, but came back with a vengence after I
stopped. I put in a call to my primary to be sure, but I like to go to the
source. So anyone have any good/bad experience with them ??
Thanks

Hi Gary, I had to be on a high dose of steroids for about 4 months earlier this
year. They
really made my tummy hurt so the doc had me take prevacid along with them and
that
seemed to do the trick. The other effects I had from them were jitteryness,
insomnia,
increased appitite and joint pain. As soon as I was weaned off of them (very
slowly) all of
the side effects went away. Good Luck!
