[edit] Use of Corticosteroids

My mother is one of the few people who is currently suffering this disease, coupled with gastroparesis. We've visited a specialist who gastrointestinal diseases. He mentioned, and it has happened, that EG causes premature osteoporosis, and the use of corticosteroids can damage joints. If someone can second this and put it in the article, it may be of some help to those studying the disease. Sigmund1989 ^{Talk to Me} 6:30 P.M., 1 May 2007 (PDT)
