A member asked:
How many people died from steroid use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: Steroid use, when first found, was thought to be a miracle for arthritis and other problems. Doctors thought it was the right thing to do but found not to be. We know better now and there still is a place for proper use. They also save many lifes.
