I've taken mild forms of steroids for medical reasons, I'm not sure how similar they are to what you take, but I just know it's not fun stuff and I would never even think of using them unless the pros outweight the negatives. The last time I took a prescription steroid I had to leave work early and go to urgent care because I thought I was having a heart attack or something....I will never take that drug ever again because of those side effects. Just not worth the good it promises for my condition. Now years ago I took a different prescription steroid and didn't have the same bad reaction, and it did help me medically, however, my doctor didn't want to keep me on it for too long because there are some severe long term side effects. Again, maybe it's a different form of steroids, but I can't imagine your form is really any safer!
