bro dont take these unless you need them for a legit medical reason. cortisol is what breaks down muscle tissue in the body. You dont want to take this unless you want to look like mick jaggar.

Corticosteroids are anti-inflamatories. They are no good unless you have a legit medical condition. All sorts of negative sides you dont want. They wont help your workouts.

hey bro, i took corticosteroid and it fucked my world up. I was fighting an injury and the doc. gave me a dosage big enough for a horse IMO. I felt hungry ALL the time, was always feeling like i had a fever, had zero energy and felt extremely weak. It was awful and didn't go away for a week after i stopped taking the stuff. i only was on it for about 10 days too. Not good for endurance or strength.

I assume you are talking about prednisone when you talk about allergies????? I think I would get a different doctor. Try allegra-D or Immuno therapy specifically for what allergins you are effected by. Corticosteroids are just bad all together, and If you are on juice while taking them they can cause an increased risk of stretchmarks, not only on your arms and normal places, but your stomach and chest. Corticosteroids werent meant to be used on an as needed basis for allergies. Good luck

i had a friend who was on them do to a medical condition i have no medical training but from what i observed of him there were some very nasty sides... although the meds helped him alot with his condition he became pretty strange volatile temper.... lost 90 percent of his hair way more bodyfat and always had colds...i would keep the dosases to a minimum if possible.
