Back St. George’s this morning. This time for a bone densitometry examination. This is just a safety measure as the steroids I’m on can reduce the calcium in your bones and lead to osteoporosis. I’m on a calcium supplement to counter that but it’s always good to know for sure.
My uncle was on steroids for a bad back and ended up really fat! I hope it doesn’t happen to you, he swelled up like a balloon!
Thanks, but don’t worry about me. I bloated a bit when I first went on them (which was a pretty heavy dose) but I’m on a minimal dose now and the effects are wearing off.
