Hello
I have studied your case.
Diprofos injection contain steroid and you should avoid it as much as possible.
Cushing disease can occur due to steroid supplement.
Steroids can lead to peptic ulcer,osteoporosis,avascular necrosis of bones.
You need proper clinical examination and medication accordingly.
If you improve your immunity by healthy and fresh diet with high natural anti-oxidant then recovery is possible.
I will advise you to take neurotropics like methylcobalamine
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
