Dear Steroid, I hate you...

Dear steroid (aka corticosteroid),

When I first met you, I thought the world of you. Little did I know how you were going to turn out.

The side effects!

You've made me put on so much weight. My skin feels like paper and I keep bruising every time I bump something.

My blood pressure is high, there's sugar in my blood, you've hurt my eyes and you've made my muscles feel weak.

I hate the way I look. You've made my face puffy and look at my belly!

I've even heard that you'll go as far as making my bones crumble and break.

I hate you! I want you out of my life!

(I suggest you now read Dear Steroid, I love you...)
