A member asked:
Why are doctors starting propaganda on steroids? i've seen in details what they do, and chances are low for it to be harmfull...
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not propaganda: Any steroid can have some serious consequences, not that every body who takes a steroid will have a bad effect. Long term use can cause bleeding of stomach, thinning of bones, cardiac effects, steroid psychosis(roid rage). Some people can experience any or all of these effects even after short term use. We are all individuals and react differently. Check with your doctor first.
