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

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.
