Steroid use long term
Posted: Mon Dec 09, 2019 3:50 pm
Quick over view.
Peppa suffered an injury which caused acute disc explosion which caused paralysis. Steroids seem to help her walk, the neurologist does not know why... But it does.
She can walk pretty well on 10mg but if dropped to 5mg she quickly declined, have also tried 10mg every other day but this does not work either. She has been on them 6 months now and weighs 26kgs. Does anyone have experience of long term steroid use?
Trying to weigh up her quality of life with the risks of long term use...
Thanks
