Personal Story My grandpa use corticosteroids for his

arthritis and my aunt use them to help with her arthritis and her lupus. With arthritis they are always in pain and my aunt can’t even do simple tasks like vacuuming and driving without taking the steroids to help her. Even then she is always taking naps.

Health Triangle Mental- you have mood swings constantly and don’t think

things through. Which can get you in trouble with the law. Social- your friends won’t want to be by you because you

are constantly having mood swings and they never know when they will happen.

Physical- You may look cool at the start with big muscles, but you have many side effects from taking them. When you use them for a long time it makes you seem older then you really

are and you start to get liver tumors.
