Can't stand food after stopping steroids

[tixbut]

need help!

Hey Guys,

Sorry havent been on for ages (been a hermit)...bad flare up.

Just got off the steroids 3 days ago...I have been on them before. But the last 3 days that i have been off them i can't even stand the smell of food, i don't even want to think about eating it makes me sick. Last time after taking steroids i never felt this...to be honest im really worried about my liver...
If someone could explain why this is happening and if i should consult someone asap that would be awesome. Thanks

I would call my Doctor! Did you taper off the steroids or just stop taking them all together? I get like that after I get off the steroids for the first day but then I am usually starving the next morning. Your body may be detoxing from them if you tapered down to quickly. That could explain the nausea.

Hi tixbut,

I don't have an answer for you but edited the thread title to be a little more descriptive so others might get their attention grabbed and come in and answer. I hope you don't mind.

Can you contact your doctor and let them know? Maybe you tapered too fast.

Nausea and vomiting are a sign of Prednisone withdrawal. http://arthritis.about.com/od/prednisone/f/withdrawaltaper.htm
