i have crohns and have done every anabolic under the moon and also do gh. I wouldnt say any of it helps crohns except for if maybe one of your symptoms are waisting.

Okay, I'm confused here, although simlar in structure... they dont serve even close to the same function, or am I missing something?

Prednisone is an anti inflammatory. it reduces swelling opens up airways for those that have smoked too damn long it helps with sorethroats, sunburns, rashes and many other problems. Long term use can cause type 2 diabetes and if you are diabetic while on your glucose will be well over 200 while taking it. long term can also give you what is called prednisone skin. it is paper thin and tears easily.

I'm aware of all that, just wondered why anyone was advocating taking AAS instead of prednisone...

I don't get this, prednisone has the opposite effect of an anabolic compound! It is suppose to supprese the ability of our bodies to produce white cells the main cause of uncontrolable intestine growth and irritation. Anabolic steroids makes muscle grow just the opposite........Not a doctor but I would think anabolic compounds would be the last thing to do

if I remember the OP was saying he was done wth prednisome or his MD wanted him to take them but he did not like the sides. Prednisome long term is a bitch and causes more harm than good IMO. I think the posters are using deductive reasoning with the two type of roids, saying one builds why not use that for chrons. I doubt it has any affect on chrons but hey who knows. i doubt there any studies showing it would work or not work.
