Good time to hit the gym?? :D

 

8 tablets a day, to be taken at once!! Feeling dizzy already and I've only had them today lol.

 

Feel like crap :(

 

8 a day :blink:. Going to have some side effects mate. Take care and I hope they do more good than bad.

 

Get well soon. :)

As long as the meat and veg doesn't fall off i'll survive ;)

 

I'm using lemsip etc so keep my symptoms at bay. I was thinking I might get back to work later in the week all being well. There aint no way I'm going to work on the steroids though. It's only slight but noticeable. My concentration & spacial awareness isn't right. Wouldn't fancy wrapped around my vertical borer, may add to my bill :D

what the hell for? :blink:

 

Oh yeah, think it's a chest infection lol.

 

Felt like crap with what I guessed was a bad cold on Friday. If I can get up I don't call it the flu, it was pretty bad though. Made it into work as I had a really important job on but had to leave early, as soon as said job was done as I could hardly stand anymore.

 

Sore head, sore all over, lethargic, pale as a ghost, loss of appetite etc etc (not swine flu symptoms). Wifey did the whole nurse thing and had me feeling much better after lemsip and erm, yeah.

 

On Saturday I was much the same as Fri night but the symptoms seemed to be shifting. I was coughing lots & my headache and pains had gone. Started wheezing really badly, I suffer from some form of Asthma so it was reeking havoc. Wasn't getting any better yesterday so decided on an appointment today.

 

Think the doc is playing it safe and hitting it aggressively due to my breathing difficulities. Anti biotics, steroids and a chest x-ray.

 

Hopefully should be ok in a few days :)

Been on these alot, little red ones?

 

Zero side affects but you will be able to breathe

 

Can't remember, something like red though yeah. Burgandy purpley I think? It was dark though lol.

 

I've definitely got side effects. I'm really dizzy when I stand up. Get light headed when I use my inhaler, never had that before.

 

Edit: 5mg Prednisolone. So I'm on 40mg a dose.

Yeah they are the babies, shouldnt be getting side affects mate. Sure you have not been taking to much inhaler that would do it.

 

On the plus side you now claim to be on the "juice" and make comments like "sorry i need to take my roids"

I have just finished a course of these, I had no side effects, you may need to check your inhaler (although you may have a bug which is making you feel sh*t):(

maybe scotts a bit of a junkie :p

 

Not as much as Raven though, he's so hardcore they don't even effect him ;)

 

Side Effects:

 

Depression

Feeling High

Feeling Anxious

Feeling, seeing or hearing things that don't exist

 

Thats the big ones that you need to see a doc about. The rest are not so bad. I'm not going to type them all but there are 65 others.

 

The main ones being Sickness, Dizzyness and stomach pain.

 

Raven, someone has been telling you porkie pies. Side effects are common, some people just have none..... or don't notice.

Hmm, well i have had them on and off since i was small so its possible i have no reaction to them now.

 

Feeling, seeing or hearing things that don't exist? you sure they are not mushrooms of somekind?

 

If you do start seeing or hearing things please post them on here i would find that a massive source of amusement.:D

Will do!

 

It always worries me when the pamphlet is so big that when you unfold it you can't fold it up well enough to get it in the box. Double sided, 6" wide and 30" long lol.

Stay away from the redbul when your not well bud. It's really bad for you when your white blood cells are trying to do their thing.

 

I would say stay away from it normally as its terrible stuff for you but I thought emphesizing that it's REALLY bad when your ill might make you listen more ;)

Thats what I'm thinking. Seems a bit of a waste, surely I should be taking advantage of the situation :D

 

You're mixing up your corticosteroids and your anabolic steroids. Different kettle of fish entirely.

 

You're taking a corticosteroid. They are produced naturally by the adrenal cortex as part of the stress response. They do stuff like break down lipids. They also have a strong anti-inflammatory action, which is usually what they are prescribed for.

 

You're not going to get any muscle mass gains out of them. Hard luck.
