Hi,

Welcome to Health Care Magic,

I am Dr.Naveed Ullah khan,

I have read your question in detail and will try to help you in the best way possible.

All these features are due to excess steroids that you are taking. It is extremely important to adjust the sose of the steroids and when the reason for which u are yaking it is gone, u should gradually decrease the dose over a period of few weeks to months.
High levels of steroids can be dangrous in many ways ling term. Mostly when the dose is gradually dexreased the symptoms goes away amd the body starys making its own normal amounts of steroids again.


I hope this answered all your queries, if you have more queries,I will be happy to answer.

Wish you the best of health.

Regards.
