RX For Steroids (No Dx)

(What does the Forum think about steroids in the absence of diagnosis?) Benefits, Draw backs, Just afraid its a cover up and not really finding the problem.  Symptoms Back of the head numbness and tingling, facial nunbness, fatigue, arm and feet tingling, etc.

I think that steriods are a very risky thing to be taking without a doctor's supervision...if this is under dr supervision it may be a test of sorts to see if it affects your condition.

There are a lot of side effects though - so read up on them.

As far as the numbness and tingling - I have those - I manage them with anti-seizure meds like gabapentin. It's hard not knowing what the heck you've got and trying to manage it with drugs. I can sympathise with you there. I hope that they are doing tests to seek what is going on with you :).

They are and have and cant seen to find anything thus the reason for the steroids I think, I am just concerned once they give them to me they will stop rying to find the real issue.
