|
|
The ENT doc today told me that I have nerve deafness in my right ear. It is not clogged, it is not infected. There is nothing that can be done for it. There's a slight chance that with 2 weeks therapy of steriods my hearing in that ear could be increased some. The steriod theapy has some bad side affects but I am still going to go on it. It could mess up a hip and cause me to have to have a hip replacement. Please pray that the steriod therapy will help me with no serious side affects. And it causes GERD which I already have really bad so I bought some medicine for that. The steriod therapy usually messes me up big time like makes me super tired. _________________

Thanks Deb. After some research and talking to the druggist I found that it can cause bone damage I've decided not to go on the steriod therapy with my medical history. _________________

Thank you Essie. The bone loss I was talking about was particularily in the hip which could cause me to have a hip replacement. I'm not up for that risk anymore. _________________

in any case like this where there are possible side effects, you have to weigh the risks against the possible gains and make a call; i'm sure you'll make the call that's best for you, barbara. (((you))) _________________

Thank you Kevin. I decided to take the steriods and picked them up from the pharmacy. I feel like I'm getting a chest cold though so I'm going to hold off on taking them. _________________

I hope you are doing ok with or without the steroids. I can't imagine how difficult decisions like that can be - I'll say an extra prayer! _________________

Thank you Mary.
I've been on the steriods for 10 days now and am suppose to be on them for 20 more days. I can not take the zombie they make me into to so I'm going to wean off of them the way the doc told me to. If there is a h*ll I've been there on these steriods. I've got a little hearing in my deaf ear now but not that much so they must have worked. _________________
