Steroids post surgery

Question.

I am 30 days post op. I have to do a six day steroid pack for a ear issue.

Makes me want to eat constantly. Diarrhea too.

Any experience?

Day one is almost over. Five to go.

I was just given a steroid pack yesterday. Also on day 2. No problems here, but I'm 3 yrs post and everyone handles things differently. Good luck!

No experience here but that particular drug may not agree with you. You can always ask for a different one.

Thanks. Eating under control. Between the steroids and being back on insulin weight loss for last week was 1 pound. Still moving in the right direction.

Three more days of steroids. It is helping my ear issue. But, it makes me a little nutty. I'm convinced that one of my bosses is mad at me. Between steroids and it being that time of the month. I know better than to address this head on. It could totally be my perception. Well today is a one foot in front of the other kind of day.

Not been through that either, just want to offer my support and send a prayer for quick healing and a return to normal.

Last steroid pill yesterday. Weighed myself to see where I was at. Same as last Sunday. Not up or down. With steroids I feel that is a blessing. Hoping for better next week. I'm so glad it's Friday.
