How much research is available for the longterm use of steroids? Everyones first thought goes to the problems athletes run into later in life as a result of anabolic steroid use but what does something like this do to the body? Because its hormone replacement instead of hormone supplement I wouldn't expect nearly as severe side effects from this but for me I come off of a 10 day round of prednisone and my liver is sore for 2 days
