Side effects appear MUCH QUICKER than they go away! I've learned through this group that it takes about a month to get rid of the side effects for every week you take steroids. Everyone is different and no one will have exactly the same side effects. Side effects can range from mildly irritating to life threatening. Previous posts on this site will show you the vast array of problems and advice on how to make some of them more bearable. Good luck.
