@kayabbott I can’t believe your doctor put you on Budesonide at your age. (I’m 73). It is not recommended for women over 60. Especially if they also have OA, osteoporosis, immune disorders (MC is an immune disorder - Budesonide was developed for ulcerative colitis), etc. It’s a pretty heavy duty steroid. I won’t take it…my bones are already brittle enough.

@ndough Actually, Budesonide is not a heavy-duty steroid. It is designed to have a milder and more localized effect, unlike steroids such as prednisone. I lift weights and other bone density exercise, which is important as one ages. https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/budesonide-oral-route/description/drg-20073233 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3003217/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15704045/
