Well, we expected it to happen. The side effects of the Steroids are now starting to pop up.
My face and mid section is now slightly looking a bit more bloated with water weight. It's not too bad at this point, but may get worse before it gets better.
My blood glucose has shot up to very high levels now, although I have been managing it fairly well at keeping it down with the use of insulin adjustments.
My sleep is slightly more challenging as the Steroids does cause some sleep disruption, I have moved to taking the Steroids first thing in the morning so that is kind of wears off by night time.
All of these side effects are temporary, and will return to normal following the end of the steroid treatment.
For the time being, I can live with the side effects as it's now showing a healing of my kidneys and my creatinine leves are coming down. That's the most important effect from the steroids.
But, I just couldn't avoid the negative effects of the Steroids, no matter how hard I tried. :o)
