I must say the support I have received over this week from others who also have chronic health issues has been over whelming.

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2019 Acceptance
In my first post for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2019 I looked at dealing with being in denial.

Oral steroids like prednisolone come with a vast array of side effects. Some of these side effects can be very visible such as weight gain, or thinning skin but these are not the side effects to be worried about. It is the silent side effects that we don't see that need to most attention and… Continue reading Oral Steroids and Bone Health
