Guest guest Posted August 25, 2000 Report Share Posted August 25, 2000 ok according to " Webster's " myopathy: any disease of a muscle. which seems weird cuz steroids usually make you stronger. of course steroids can also make you hallucinate. so what was the question??

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2000 Report Share Posted August 25, 2000 Mark, Is the muscle weakness a pemanent factor or does the strength come back once the Steroids have been stopped?

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2000 Report Share Posted August 26, 2000 Well I have a friend that was on steroids for about 5 weeks, ended up very weak, in a wheelchair, and they tell her it is " steroid myopathy " and will get better in about 3 months! Just wondered if anyone else had ever heard of it (this person had FRS). Marie Re: Steroid Myopathy > >That's my question Jen, I have no idea!

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2000 Report Share Posted August 28, 2000 Guys, Guys, Guys.... Me thinks you gents are talking about different extremeties. Bro - I know winter is coming to an end in OZ but please continue to keep your extremeties warm (but stay away from the sheep!). Mark - I think those manly gents in OZ include another, umm, err, projection when referring to " extremeties " (but the women know better). (taking you to the extreme and beyond!) ---------- From: Cross Sent: Sunday, August 27, 2000 5:51 AM To: NF2_Crewegroups Subject: Re: re: steroid myopathy extremities, Mark.
