ughhhhh steroids

[Just MS me]

Ok I took a 10 day round of steroids and felt pretty good until day 7 started haveing sinus problems cough has gotten worse (should say have had a mild cough for about 6 weeks) now it is deep in chest breathing is tough at times, just feel yuck......having a few sharp pains around the lungs......now the question broncittus(spelling) flu pnomiua(spelling) sorry.......gonna try to get in with doc tomorrow

[newbie but goodie]

I started demanding an antibiotic prescription with each round of steroids I have to do because I get sick Every Single Time (as if the steroids dont make us feel crappy enough)!

I wait until Ive stopped the roids and am starting to come down with whatever random illness I get that time (sinus, bronchitis, whatever...) and start the antibiotics. I have found that it at least saves me from making a trip to my PCP (whom I dont really like) while Im all sick and swollen and manic from the steroids.

Its small consolation, but Ill take what I can get

That is a great idea
