I think that has a far more positive meaning. Envy certainly should be seen as a negative in the majority of cases. |

Re: Envy
I hope this isn't regarded as thread wandering - the mental state I was in when I started it was due to medication.
I now add - These steroids are bad news ! Last night, 30 hours after my last 30mg dose I started withdrawl symptoms (body aching, dizziness and mild nausea), took a reduced dose of 10mg, went to bed and slept from 7pm til 2am. My nightime websearching reveals that, even after a short 5 day spell of high dosage, I will need to 'taper' off them How to Taper the Dosage of Prednisone | eHow |

You should not rubbish a medication in general just because it does not agree with you. The only complaint I have is that now I cannot participate in any competitive sports - I wish:D |
Envy
It's not addictive at all, I've been taking it every day for the last 35 years, I can give up anytime I wish, but I'll fight anyone that says I should do.

Re: Envy
We are all unique individuals and there are many medications that may have wonderfully liberating effects for some people.....but it still has to be recognised that one size doesn't fit all.
My daughter has required intermittent use of steroids to combat side effects of medication she is taking.....she has a terrible time when she is on them.....cannot sleep, sometimes feels high(but not pleasantly so) and can have hallucinations. So Barrie, I am glad your experience has been so positive, but not everyone is affected in such a positive way. |

Re: Envy
Barrie...I didn't read it that way.......you said you 'disagreed most strongly', because you had had good effects.....my point was, that many people do not have the same results and will get the nasty side effects...but that isn't to say that these drugs should not be tried to see what results individuals have with them....and in some situations there really is no alternative other than to put up with the side effects or suffer the unwanted consequences of vital medication.
With the long term use of steroids there is also the possibilty of steroid induced diabetes(because it is a gluco-corticoid), and osteoporosis....these drugs can also mask the presence of infection in the body. So yes, they are useful, but they have their 'downsides'. |
