I know how frustrating this is for you!! I have been on steroids for a long time now, and those side effects do take a long time to go away completely...but they DO GO AWAY!!! DO NOT PLUCK THOSE HAIRS!! Trim them!! If you pluck, they will grow back thicker...if you trim them, you will notice that they will grow back thinner and thinner and eventually, not at all! Limit your salt intake to reduce some of the fluid retention. DRINK lots of fluids to help with any pain you may have when the med starts to withdraw from your system. TRY TRY TRY to relax!! The more stress you put on yourself, the worse it will be...steroids are a stress hormone, so reducing your stress will help to reduce your side effects. *I know it is MUCH easier said then done!*

Please let me know if you have any more questions!! We are here for you!!

Ivy
