Does Long Term Use Of Wysolone 30 Mg Has Any Side Effect?
My husband is on Wysolone 30 mg. He is suspected to have Hashimoto encephalopathy. he is already diagnosed Alzheimer s patient. he recently had a sodium potassium fall. Feels lethargic and grunts when having to do move . But once among friends / outsiders he doesn t show his tiredness. My question: Is it worthwhile keeping him on steroids? he s just been on it for 1 1/2 months. i m really afraid of the side effects. more so because i don t know what they are. regards.
