Anabolic Steroids
Yes, i was close to dying from crohns. Prednisone worked well. But the side effects were harsh. First time was 12 weeks and being weened off.
This is 100% correctno. that has nothing to do with it. it has nothing to do with "withdrawal" or "addictive". If you know people on it, they want to get off of glucocorticoids. Most people hate it.
long term glucocorticoids is associated with muscle wasting, osteoporosis, alot of endrocrine issues, weight gain, water retention, insomnia, severe acid reflux, increased chance of infection.

This is incorrect. Prednisone or Methopred is typically prescribed for ramp down (high initial dose to low dose) for 7-10 days. Anything more makes providers nervous due to cholesterol and glucose impacts (Even Chron’s and IBS are prescribed this way typically to kill flare ups)
Failed to link anything. Ok bro
I saw some review where they found two instances of glucocorticoid dependence. They had very nasty withdrawals. Dependence is NOT the same as addiction. Most people don't know the difference (I suspect you do, but most don't).no. that has nothing to do with it. it has nothing to do with "withdrawal" or "addictive". If you know people on it, they want to get off of glucocorticoids. Most people hate it.

I'm putting you on ignore. You are truly a waste of time for anyone wanting to have intelligent discussion, so you can waste other people's time, not mine.
You're splitting hairs with the addiction vs dependence topic. That may be more appropriate for other drugs like opiates. Corticosteroids are addictive/make dependent and people continue to take them even after their doctor weaned or took them off (for good reason or not). The definition doesn't matter here.
Exactly. You nailed it on the head.
Do you work in a clinical setting? How do you know so many old people who have had these issues? Please share your background that gives you such insight into this topic which directly disputes the studies and research I shared above.
Dude, wtf. How about you dig for them. I just spent dug up and read through multiple full text studies and a couple more abstracts and find ZERO implications of what you're talking about.
That's too bad. @Cridi887 is a great guy and very knowledegable.
You're on ignore now too. All you do is spam walls of text, containing absolute garbage methed out superficial research with zero filter.
lmfao dude you are a piece of work. At least I provided SOMETHING. You haven't done shit except make bullshit claims with zero evidence. If you want people to actually BELIEVE YOU, then you need to back up your case. At this point you just look like an overly emotional child, blocking everyone who says anything you don't like, even if it cites four separate studies that made claims against what you say. You don't even glance at them because you don't want to change your mind. So you're overly emotional child AND you're a stubborn asshole.
No, it doesn't, because you are just spouting out claims with no evidence.
Meh. Not a loss. I have reviewed plenty of medication on patients and I have never seen someone in long term steroids (more than 3 months).. Maybe the ones with idiot doctors of people already on their death bed.
Oh, I don’t doubt for a moment that there are unfortunate people with conditions that require long term usage… but if you look up dosing recommendations on Archimedes and other dosing bibles created for physicians… long term use is discouraged for multitudinous reasons. (Caveat… I have no idea what the world outside the USA does. This could be more prevalent. My knowledge doesn’t extend beyond)
I meant to say "or people already on their death bed". At that point it doesn't matter but quality of life/palliation.
Transplant patients.
You are right.
