I'm on MASSIVE doses of medical steroids, prescribed for my athsma right now. While I was hospitalized, they were giving them intravenously to me, now they have to start weaning me off them, slowly and gently, via oral pills of it.

For those of you who have never had the rare pleasure (cough cough, nightmare!), of taking cortizone based steroids...it AINT pretty.

Nasty things. I feel like a man trapped in a womans body. I get ticked at the slightest of things, and when I do, my face turns bright read, and veighns start showing in wierd places...I get the sudden urge to go destructo monster on things. Like..i''ll ge ticked off, and start looking around and wondering if I should throw something.... Generally, it feels like they are feeding you with a ton of Testosterone or something.

So...I just wanted to warn in advance..if i snap in the next couple of days, seem really flighty, or if i'm just absolutely rude and rediculous...that is probably why. Give me a week or so, maybe two, and I should start to slowly get back to normal. Or..you could just put me on ignore until I let you all know i'm feeling better moodwise :);)

Danus, does when someone touch you just slightly, does it hurt? When I'm on steroids for asthma and bronchitis it actually hurts when someone touches me, and if I hear "are you sunburned? one more time????????......

Gods yes, Oldwitch. That's a typical steroid side effect. It's actual weakening of the inner flesh..it's got a name, but I can't think of it offhand.

Youch. yes..it hurts.
