View allMy mom's 57 and she's been on omnacortil 10 mg for the past 8 years because of her skin Ellery disease. But now she's got diabetes and some BP issues, so the doctors said she can't take it anymore. Ever since she stopped, she's really weak, can't eat, and is vomiting. What should we do? Can you help us out?
sudden withdrawal from long-term steroid use (8 years) can lead to severe adrenal insufficiency, and the doctor may recommend a gradual tapering off of omnacortil to prevent withdrawal symptoms, while also managing her diabetes, BP, and skin condition with alternative treatments.

I've been wondering if masturbating a lot could mess with my testosterone levels. I've been doing it around 23 times a day for the last five years, and I'm not seeing much facial hair growth. Could there be a connection?
it's normal
