I've been taking Entocort for chronic liver disease for almost 3 months and 2 weeks ago

became very tired, dizzy and initially had facial pain which turned into ear aches. I've

heard steroids can be a bad thing for someone who's had lyme and expressed that to my liver

specialist but he insists that because entocort affects only the liver it wont be a problem. I

was on entocort a year ago for 2 weeks before abdominal made me quit it and the pain subsided.

I thought it may have been coincidence so I started it again at the advice of my specialist

and was doing fine for several months until these symptoms occurred. On the plus side,

entocort has really improved my liver panels. Has anyone taken Entocort and had similar bad reactions?
