I'm going to revise what I said about use of medical steroids, like I said I have very limited medical knowledge - hey I'm an 18B...
A doc here PM'd me this about medical steroids.
Quote:
Steroids impact the adrenal glands. The adrenals make adrenalin/epinepherin to support fight or flight responses. Taking exogenous steroids, pills etc., supress normal adrenal function. With that said, the adrenals need help for up to six months from the last dose of exogenous steroids. This is, in part, why those folks just don't do so well. Patients that came to me for surgery after steroids up to six months out, got several doses of steroids before, during and after surgery.
