How to Get RID of Side Effects of Steroids?

Are you falling prey to your treatment?

Yes, you are- if you are taking steroids, blindly!

This is something I am discussing here the steroids.

But I am not supposed to defame these wonderful medicines, which prove life-saving in many of the conditions. But these medicines are problematic most of the time. And we need to know few things before taking steroids and that too blindly.

What does blindly means?

A young girl kept on using some skin cream with steroids. She came for consultation for a regular burning sensation of the skin. Her skin was thinner than the onion skin…! And it took months to heal her skin.

But all the cases are not lucky enough…

Because I treat avascular necrosis, where steroids are the cause behind the disease. Therefore I meet many people who fall prey to these medicines! Some used these for – leukemia, sarcoidosis, SLE, Asthma, Fibromyalgia treatment, and Rheumatoid Arthritis but few others only use it for bodybuilding!

And this pains me as a human being. Being a medical professional is different. But being a human is entirely different.

So we need to know hat what these steroids are supposed to do inside the body.

What are Steroids

Steroids are no aliens. The human body produces these compounds and these help us to live properly. There are many physiological activities which complete only because of these steroids, in the body.

The ones which our doctors use as medicines are chemically synthesized. These resemble closely cortisol in structure.

These medicines stop immune system activities. Therefore these helps in reducing the inflammation. This is something like- paralyzing the immune system. But in some cases, it becomes important to keep the army at bay. This is good when we do it for few days to help the body to revive.

But when we get used to these medicines. This complicates the whole thing. And side effects start appearing. And the list of side effects of steroids is infinite…
