Re: [ptc] steroids

HI - I can't say for sure it is caused by the steroids - however, I have just completed 6 rounds of chemo and prior to each chemo infusion, I was given an IV bag of steroids and then for the 3 following days I took a high dose of steroids - I always got a huge headache and have had some blurred vision - my neurologist says the blurred vision can be caused sometimes by the chemo - so...not sure if that includes steroids or not - good luck!

Hello everyone, I hope you had a wonderful holiday and
have a blissful New Year. I was wondering has anyone
experience vision problems due to high doses of steroids?
