    Hi my name is shemeka I'm 24 years old I been on steroids for almost 3 years
    and now I need two hip replacements. I just don't get why this medication isn't
    posted for to be put off the market. I have two glamous girls that are 1 and 4
    and I can't pick them up because the pain. I was put on prenisone when I was 18
    from a allergy called andgiodema and I would swell up in my airway. I really
    wish they had a lawsuit for this medicine because I'm young and I can't do
    anything now and this hurts to have to go through something like this at my age.
