High dose steroids

I’m taking 65mg a day for a rare kidney disorder. My symptoms from meds are completely different to most. I have zero appetite, I’m exhausted and this morning I had 2 hours of the worst stomach pain I’ve ever experienced, I was very close to calling 999.

had anyone else experience similar on this sort of dose and if so do you have any advice? I take it with yoghurt and I have an another tablet on prescription to help with stomach issues.

Im completely wiped out but this at the moment. It’s been an awful few months and it just keeps getting worse!

probably worth getting advice from a real life HCP - steroids can cause a couple of potentially serious abdominal problems and if the pain was that bad you nearly called an ambulance it's worth getting some proper advice.

Thank you. I’ve avoid this as it’s settled and I don’t want to risk Christmas in hospital. But if it happens tomorrow I will 100% be doing this!
