To taper or not to taper...

My doctor decided not to taper me off of steroids since I had only been on them for a week. Yet, here I am with a killer headache, a fever, and nausea. Blech.
This is my first time on steroids, so I suppose it's best that I know now how my body reacts to them. Next time I'll taper off the drugs if I've taken them over three days.
I ended up canceling PT for the day. Tomorrow I'll start up physical activity again.
