IV Steroid Therapy...what can I expect?
Posted: Thu Jun 25, 2009 6:25 pm
We have a home-care nurse coming to the house tomorrow to begin IV steroid therapy on my husband.
What can I expect from this? Aside from the obvious, i.e., he'll be hooked up to an IV, what sort of side effects will he experience? And in a broader sense, what sort of impact will this have, in the various areas of his life over the next week. And what about long-term? Is there anyone out there who has had personal experience with this? What was your experience...if you don't mind my asking.
And thanks in advance!
