Question
Hi, I had Dexamethasone, hydrocortisone, prednisilone over the last few weeks. I was told I didn't need to taper but I'm not feeling well.
My last steroid was Thursday night (it's Saturday am here). I had a mild upper back pain all day yesterday but overnight I developed BAD thoracic back pain, headache (mainly occipital) all my teeth are aching, my sinuses feel blocked and heavy, my legs are swollen, my feet are swollen.....in short I feel very much like I'm getting the flu but this isn't our flu season. Oh, I forgot to mention my chest is wheezy when I breathe out.
I've Googled steroid withdrawal and this doesn't sound like it.
Maybe I've managed to catch some virus due to the steroids.
I don't know whether to be concerned or not.
I really don't feel well.
Regards
Chirley
