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?
I'm sorry for you hope you feel well soon
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.
