The steroid junkies' perfectly unscientific medical trial

[petitpas]

That's great news!

hello all xxx

Hi! Today I tried one of Pip's Philidelphia on toast with avocado!! Wow they are good!! I also ate cereal, a pastrami sandwich, 2 bananas, loads of juicy big olives, a mince pie, a scone with butter and cherry jam. Litres and litres of water. Is extreme thirst a side effect too? How many cals? don't know, don't care. Me hungry!

Lee did you try taking your tablets earlier this morning? I'm on 40mg now and the big between sleep time makes a huge difference, i have no problems sleeping and not really buzzing anymore but not sure if that's progesterone tiredness kicking in.

Hi Fili.

I took them at 8.00 am this morning. I'm gonna try take them around 7 ish in future. I suffer from anxiety also, so probs doesn't help. I'll see how I go this week and speak to my specialist if it doesn't wear off. Mainly feeling jittery and agitated today, slightly manic tbh!!!
I'm hoping it settles down. Not been hungry today but I work up in a lather of sweat last night and still quite restless.
I'm on 25mg.

How long have you been on them for, did you have anything similar, if so, how long did it last for?

Thanks x

Also I didn't have any problems sleeping on them last time really, infact I think I was sleeping well. Was only on 20mg though, was hyped for a few days but that was about it.

mmmmm Olives, scones and mince pies, yummy x

by philadelphia do you mean cream cheese? i have been eating alot of it on bagels with peanut butter you make me so hungry! gotta try it on toast with cucumber or avocado

 

[petitpas]

Fili, Hope, drizzle a bit of lemon drops on top of the avocado and add freshly ground black pepper

Yes, Philadelphia is a brand of cream cheese.

Sorry about the witchy visit, beachlover 6 weeks in New Zealand sounds like a fabulous break!

 

[filipenko32]

ooh thanks pip, will do that tomorrow! lee i didn't get any side effects until after a week of taking 25mg then i was buzzy and anxious too. Not been buzzy or anxious on 40mg though!!!! I just feel normal aside from the hunger x

 

[filipenko32]

bagels with cream cheese AND peanut butter Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[hopeful23456]

i'm eating philly all the time

 

[petitpas]

I eat it every day, too! Still do!

One other thing I've noticed is that my portion sizes have decreased since coming off the roids.

 

[filipenko32]

I will be now after today's taster, not had phili since i was 15 I don't think!! I keep wanting chocolate and nuts melted together too Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. Chocolate and salted nuts. Mixed together. Mmmmmmmm. Oh dear we are serious steroid junkies!

 

[filipenko32]

oh that's good pip, i hope your sickness is easing too

 

[petitpas]

Haha, chocolate that's the one thing I cannot eat.
I've tried a few times and each time I regret it.
You keep the brown stuff, I'll stay with the white cheesy goodness
Have you tried Philadelphia with parmesan on pasta? Hmmmmmmmm

 

[filipenko32]

Sounds good pip I will try that too!! What about a bagel with cream cheese, peanut butter, and nuttella on top! That sounds good to me. I will try it tomorrow and let you all know!
