Doc put me on a high dose steroid today for the first time. I am ready to fight god. - Divisions by zero

Seriously no wonder people abuse this stuff. I have gotten so much absolutely back breaking work done today and I’m not even slightly tired. I cleared the rest of the BS blizzard snow from the rest of my driveway (had only shoveled the sidewalk before), plus the curb all the way to the nearest storm drain. I rearanged my living room, reorganized my whole service van, I finally swapped in that new clothes dryer that has been sitting in the garage for a month, and all that is after a full day of physical work. I would have normally been tired 3 times over by now. I’m am resting right now not because I feel like I need to but because I don’t want to accidentally actually cripple myself by acting like I’m superman. If only this stuff didn’t completely destroy your body in the long term.

This is what happens when inflammation in your body is low, and a similar mode of being can be achieved through dietary changes, supplements, exercise and other adjustments

While I agree eating healthy and cutting down inflammation is extremely beneficial, your statement seems to be undermining and not contributing in a meaningful manner. I don’t think you are doing so in bad faith. I’m guessing you are trying to help but the way it comes off is not being well received because it’s general advice that isn’t pertinent to the observation OP is making. Again, I think your advice is solid in the general sense but the way it was stated may come off as condescending.

For example, when I was a college athlete I was extremely fit and eating healthy (and yeah, I felt great) but I had an allergic reaction on my epidermis and had to go on a steroid treatment.

Holy moly I felt like a god (just like OP is stating). I would regularly lift and exercise but when I was on the steroid treatment, it was another level of energy and strength.
