She has seizure disorder,severe arthritis and excessive weight( about 275) due to lack of any type of activity( washing cloths, cleaning house, dish w ashing, sweeping, mopping, etc) These steriods have had a physical effect on her. She is doing house work(cleaning, mopping, cooking. etc). It is amazing what a change has happened.
