At risk

Today, after being on steroids to suppress my immune system, I found out it causes pulmonary embolisms. If I stop taking my steroids, my body will try to kill me, but if I take the steroids, the meds will try to kill me. I’m only 35 and was fit before this. FML

They *may* cause pulmonary embolism. Not "will", "may". It's listed as a potential side effect, not something that is going to happen to everyone that takes it

Eh. I’m on prednisone for lupus. I’m also 35. Your doctors should be monitoring you. they decided the benefits of being on it outweigh the risks, just trust them.

Well, you know what Nietzsche said: "What doesn't kill me, makes me stronger." People forget the other part, "but what does kill me, kills me." Good luck, ubermensch!

In my case, it definitely did. Worse, I just had to get tested for CoVid, since i have 6 symptoms from it. I barely step foot out of my house, and wear a mask and wash hands religiously every time. Hope its negative, but after losing my taste and smell with a fever of 101.3F for 4 days straight, i wouldn’t be shocked if I got Coronavirus.
