You are speaking about two different hormones. Mom is talking about the antiinflammatory steroids that docs refer to as "steroids;" mercier is speaking about the male hormones.
The only problem with the steroids is the side effects...they really suck. But it's a trade off I'd make any day, because now I can carry and play with my grandson (9months). I've been fishing, and golfing, and been able to wrestle around with my girls and my dogs! (My dog "Cody Jack" is 130 lbs!!) Like I said, nothing but a wonderful miracle to me!!
