I too have a lot of allergies to meds and other things so I understand. I have found some meds I can take though. I think it's possible to get a DX while letting them know you can't take the drugs.....they SHOULD be able to offer SOMETHING but I admit I don't know much, especially about healthcare in the U.K.

Oral steroids can cause mania so that seems counterproductive.......also, long term use of them can cause necrosis of the bones and many other terrible things. They are a wonder drug for the short term and can help lots of problems but should be taken only short term for most people. I can understand why you'd be scared of them. (((Hugs)))
