Hello,
I am completely livid. My doctor was prescribing me oral steroids without telling me the long-term impact. I have gained several pounds and I feel terrible. He didn't seem to care, it was more of an "oopsie daisy" moment.
I had to leave the surgery before bursting into tears. I'm feeling very lost and ignored.

That seems very difficult...Have any other members experienced this concerning their medication? did your doctor warn you or not?
