The steroids she was talking about are for breathing issues usually. Not muscle builders.

I really think you have your facts wrong. Post menopausal women receive hormone replacement therapy, not steroids. There is a huge difference.

Exactly!

Prednisone is a corticosteroid used to treat inflammation among other things.
Anabolic steroids build muscle mass.

I used to take Prednisone when I was a teenager, many years ago. I had cystic acne, the worst kind there is, and needed the Prednisone to reduce the inflammation of the cysts so they could be treated.

This comment may seem innocent enough but this combined with her tumor surgery, Jason Kapaln saying she's courageous comments and Howard's private visits to her apartment. It all adds up steroids are given in conjunction with Chemo therapy for a variety of reasons.

I know about these types of steroids because I take them for severe position ivy usually once a year so her comment sealed the deal for me. She's bloated from the steroid and balled from chemo thus no camera on her in her apt. The house arrest idea was always idiotic because court records are public and searchable so this would have come out but medical treatments ie cancer treatment are protected under privacy act.

no one ever took the house arrest theory very seriously.

Right because we all knew the end game was to fake her own death to avoid ALLEGED sentencing anyway.

I have taken it a couple of times...what you had sounds like it was very painful.

I agree. A friend of mine took steroids in conjuction with treatment for his leukemia and got very puffy. Like Jerry Lewis. She was already fat, she must look like Precious now. How stupid to keep something like this under wraps.

And the word "courageous" is generally reserved for those with terminal cancer.

Thanks, Lou - I was reading this thread up to your point, thinkin' WTF? Some menopausal women take HRT, hormone replacement therapy, to keep the lack of estrogen that menopause brings, from weakening their bones (osteoporosis) or causing all the crazy side effects that people associate with menopause (dry skin, dry vajay, hot flashes...)...BUT, HRT was linked to an increase in female cancers back in the 70's - cervical, uterine.. - so it was really stopped being prescribed for a while. Now, women without a history of female cancers are being put on HRT again, but at really low doses, in a patch form (transdermic)...and for a pretty short amount of time.

Prednisone is a glucocorticoid - which is used to lessen inflammation and swelling - lots of patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis use it to shrink inflammation in their joints, and asthmatics use it in their inhalers, to shrink inflammed bronchioles so they can breathe.... Also, patients who have lupus take prednisone, as do some people with fibromyalgia.

I don't know just what Robin would be taking prednisone for - It's a really great anti-inflammatory, but it comes with a TON of side effects - and potential long term effects. It can increase a normal, non-diabetic person's blood sugar, it's been shown to increase the size of the heart, if used for a long time....and it can cause pretty wild mood swings and irritability.

I do wish we could find out what is exactly wrong with her - I know it's her private business, but like someone mentioned above, her NOT telling makes the general listening public think it's pretty bad.... what if it isn't??
