AGK!

At my check up on Friday, the doctor said there is no iron in my liver again.

Six infusions start up again today.

Did you have side effects from the steroids? I hate that part... any advice on how to circumvent this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

sorry to sound thick,is iron injects steroids? The tablets arn't helping me so was going to ask for iron injects bu not so sure if they are steroids?

THe side effects you'll have on Pred will depend on you dosage. When I weighed 120, then put me on 60mg, and that dose was really high. It messed up my concentraiton, my moods, my sleep, and my memory.

Your best bet is to ask to take Xanax with it, which will keep you from yelling at people, and try to cut down on your sodium intake. You may also need a sleep aid to help you sleep. Try to exercise - it will help you cut down on the weight gain.
