inflammatory conditions
"I have severe COPD that was exacerbated by broncholitis, which landed me in the hospital.  It has really helped reduce the inflammation in my lungs, and I can finally breathe again.  I am on a pretty high IV dose, but they are treating me well.  It certainly has side effects.  My gut is all pooched out, and I gained SEVEN pounds in a week.  Major bloat going on.  Heartburn, too.  It makes me a little hyper, and my skin is sensitive.  I have a back/shoulder ache, but that could be the hospital bed.  I hope the side effects go away when I am off of it, but at least I can breathe again."
