steroids injections slow down the sinthesys of collagen, so that they're not recommended at all in our kind of sindrome..

Which is why EDS and inflammatory arthritis don't mix...I've been taking steroids by mouth for four months now!

Yes and I'm still on them but I don't find them helpful anymore...they did help me gain weight and stuff which was a good thing.

I have to see my rheum...

Hmph. Well, do you want some of my weight gained from Meds?! Haha.

I used to be a whopping, 125..and now I'm 209.


Ugh. I hate it.

Plus MY back is now giving me trouble..and I have been going to the chiropractor.

Nah I'm good...Still on the steroids but am weaning off! I'm now actually a tad overweight which has NEVER happened to me before! Weird because I had an eating disorder but with therapy and support it's staying away! Grrrr anorexia...down with you!

Glad that you are keeping the anorexia away! I am sure that didn't help with your EDS at all.
