Cortisone sucks

I was struck down a week ago with a lung infection. Boy it sucks! I can barely breathe and to make matters worse my GP gave me cortisone, like it's the miracle cure for everything under the goddamn sun. I have the shakes, the sour taste in my mouth, the acne on my neck, everything... I battle with sharp smells and tastes when I'm on cortisone and I always feel nauseous like I'm in the first trimester of pregnancy. Any advice for coming down from this shit as fast as possible? Honestly I can't carry on feeling like I'm starving to death and nauseated all at the same time... surely there has to be something?

First- I can’t sleep on steroids, so took ambien 5 nights- slept good but felt like hell in the morning. Calcium/magnesium liquid mellowed my tummy some. I ate a lot of saltine crackers and drank a ton of water. Once I ate something, I could take 600mg Advil. Metallic taste is just the worst!! Mints help. But seriously, steroids suck!! I had them for my April flair, and they did nothing! So I hear you!! Hope one of these ideas helps a bit.
