How many people abuse steroids?
Sadly 280,000 high school students in America have admitted to using steroids to enhance their performance in the sport of gridiron.
This number is of course below the estimate as most steroids using deny they take drugs. Americas steroid problem is down to the need for steroids to play American sports such as gridiron and baseball.
In countries where baseball and gridiron are unpopular steroids are very rarely used by high school students.
Expansion: That 280,000 number is hugely worthless. Most of America doesn't even know what steroids are, much less high school students. I still come into contact with doctors or soccer moms who think CREATINE is a steroid. So that poll number is worthless.
Here's food for thought- Texas recently implemented steroid testing for HS athletes. They just tested 10,000 students. Guess how many tested positive for steroids??? FOUR. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,479241,00.HTML
The "epidemic" of steroids and steroid use among teenagers is a fictional concocted epidemic that ignorant stupid Americans eat up like pie.
EXPANSION: Football moms would be unlikely to know much about steroids because football does not have a steroid problem as it takes skill to play football which is why they want their children to play it.
"Boys and girls in all sports, from football [gridiron] to tennis to cross country, have been randomly selected."
The tests were done on all sports not just baseball and gridiron. Most sports do not have a steroid problem, just two or three.
Rigging tests to avoid the problem is not helping anyone.

Can taking steroids affect my boyfriends fertility?
He took cortisone when he was 10, he is now 17. Would it still affect him?
No, most people have needed to take Cortisone one time or another in their life. The ones who are in danger of fertility and other side effects are the people using steroids when body building for instance. They abuse it heavily and get really nasty side effects. but taking it as a child for medical health reasons is usually no problem. If he worries he can always leave a sperm sample at the doctor.
Because they raise testosterone/hormone levels which are normally increased in puberty. An effect of the trigger is more oil seeping from the pores which can lead to acne.

Your friend most likely has shingles. It is caused by the varicella (or herpes) zoster virus. Initially, it causes chickenpox. Later in life, it may reactivate and cause shingles, which presents as a rash along a single dermatome, frequently preceded by burning or lancinating pain.
The particular cocktail of medications you have asked about are fairly typical for a shingles outbreak. Acyclovir is an antiviral drug which may decrease the time of outbreak if taken before the rash occurs. Tegretol is an anti seizure medication used in this particular instance to help control the neuropathic pain associated with shingles. Prednisone can be taken to help decrease the inflammation and pain associated with shingles, although this is not a medication I have used frequently for shingles, as it may cause other side-effects and worsen diabetes.

You lost your Prednisone what else can you use until you see your doctor?
Answer
Nothing can replace prednisone. I suggest you go to your local A&E department or pharmacy, preferably with a previous prescription slip and tell them that you have lost your prednisone. They should provide you with emergency supplies.
Prednisone causes adrenal suppression, therefore you will stop producing your natural steroid. If you simply stop taking prednisone, then you can go into Addisonian crisis and die. This is why you MUST go to your A&E department or book an emergency appointment with your doctor. You may also be able to get emergency supplies from your pharmacy.

Can you take Prednisone indefinitely for COPD?
Some people don't have a choice with their health issues so they have to take prednisone for an extended period of time. I would not suggest taking prednisone indefinitely unless your condition is extremely bad, and that is your only option.

Thin skin
Muscle problems
