Just reading the post. YES, it is the steroids. I didn’t fully understand until my husband came off and then went back on. He would start yelling at me in the aisle of a grocery store. Go off at a waiter in the restaurant. I realized it wasn’t him it was the steroid.mi remember the first telling the doctor, I didn’t understand what was going on but I thought I would divorce until I realized he didn’t know it was happening. I showed a video to him when he was weaned the first time and he cried. He apologized that he was putting me through this.it is the steroids!!!!!!

@miriam57 thank you for sharing this. I have also at times wondered how the marriage could last through this. Finding this group has really helped in my understanding of the issue. It is still a daily struggle right now dealing with this. And without my faith in the Lord, I would have no hope.

I like the idea of finding a video to share once he is off them. I'll be researching that.

Anyone have any input on how long it takes the steroids to get out of the system once weaned off?
