After going through a course of steroids I unfortunately put on some weight. Most of this weight is in my breasts. My cup size has gone up a full letter in a month. It kills! Most people would be happy with the increase in chest size but my back has been aching.

I have been able to shed most of the weight I gained on my stomach and hips, but I can seem to shrink my chest! What are some of the annoying side effects from steroids for you?

" I'll share a funny side effect. I got track marks and was teaching a course at a college. I also got an ulcer and had gone in for a procedure and was doped up on meds and slightly loopy when I was teaching. I was wearing quarter length sleeves and my arms and subsequent track marks were visible.... My college students thought I was a drug addict. Hope that makes you smile. Though not funny at the time I can smile about it now. "

" My best friend's husband also has MS. When he was on steroids he got violent. When I was treated with them, my whole famliy was quite nervous what would happen. Luckily, I did not have any ill effects.
My hubby would have been thrilled if I got bigger boobs though,then he would live in denial about my back pain... lol "
