What are steroid withdrawal symptoms?
Steroid withdrawal symptoms can mimic many other medical problems. Weakness, fatigue, decreased appetite, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (which can lead to fluid and electrolyte abnormalities), and abdominal pain are common. Blood pressure can become too low, leading to dizziness or fainting. Blood sugar levels may drop. Women also may note menstrual changes. Less often, joint pain, muscle aches, fever, mental changes, or elevations of calcium may be noted. Decrease in gastrointestinal contractions can occur, leading to dilation of the intestine (ileus).
Competition can be a great thing – but not when you value your winning record over your brain and body. Winning isn’t everything, especially when you are risking your health and reputation to get ahead.
Side effects of long-term steroid use includes:
* Glaucoma
* Cataracts
* High-blood pressure
* Heart disease
* Diabetes mellitus
* Obesity
* Acid reflux/GERD
* Osteoporosis
* Myopathy
* Increase in certain types of infections
* Cushing syndrome
