I got a used tea pot for Christmas and I haven't had coffee since. Hail Tea!

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well, I loved my first doctor, but when he went off shift, I got idiot doctor, who prescribed me 20 days on steroids. AFTER I'd told him that prolonged steroid usage causes me to get myopathy.
Of course, my doctor is not reachable, because of the holiday, so I have no idea what to do.
Take the drugs until you get ahold of your regular doctor. Anything is better than nothing at all. How soon after you started taking them the last time did you start having problems?
How long does it take for the myopathy to hit? I wonder if a few days of care and steroids will be enough to get things under control again?
How long does it take for the myopathy to hit?
It takes a couple of weeks. I'm planning on doing the "normal" taper that we usually do, instead of what the doctor prescribed. I'll double check that with my PCP as soon as I can get ahold of her. That will only be six days, rather than 20!
