Sometimes, steroids work for a person, and sometimes they don’t. And of course, all people react to a drug differently—both in response to the effectiveness and to the side effects. My first experience with steroids was horrifying and created tremendous confusion and stress. My doctor and pharmacist didn’t explain much about them. In the beginning, I hated them. But after I began to understand my body’s reactions to them, steroids became my friend. What were your side effects, and did they help? How well were you informed about them?
