Anybody who has ever been on corticosteroids will tell you they're evil little pills. Don't get me wrong - when they work, they're like little white miracles that can make you feel so much better!
But when they don't work - or they cause side-effects - they are evil, nasty, bitter little pills that can quite literally send you crazy.
Everybody is different. Me? I put on copious amounts of weight (this round, I'm up to +15kg and I'm not impressed!), get overly emotional, and can't sleep. If being perpetually exhausted doesn't make you wanna cry, the weight gain certainly will!
Sometimes I just don't know whether it's worth it. I don't feel any better, and the side effects only make me feel worse that I already do. The catch-22 is that you don't know how terrible you will feel off the pred. If only there was a crystal ball!
