Reducing Side Effects

Tweet

I recently had to take a course of Methylprednisolone as part of treating a back injury. I was wondering if anyone had ideas for how to reduce the side effects I had while taking it. It felt like a bad mix of severe PMS emotional symptoms, continual low blood sugar (shaky, weak, faint) and oddly a symptom I've only had before when I was withdrawing from Trileptal which is a generalized buzzing/vibrating sensation. Unfortunately I may have to take additional rounds of this or similar steroid medicine due to a skin condition I have. I'm hoping someone who has taken this kind of medicine regularly might know of ways to reduce the severity of these side effects. Are there foods, vitamins, or some such thing that helps? Any advice appreciated.
