Thanks for extra detail,

You cannot stop any steroid medication abruptly,so I will advise that you discuss with your physician about tapering it slowly.
The irregular periods and bruising will subside as the dosage will tapered slowly.

Steroids have some mineralcorticoid activity so they lead to fluid retention but as I mentioned earlier,tapering of dosage will take care of it.

As you have already stopped the medication,so I will advise that you ask the physician to do dexamethasone supression test ,which will tell us about the function of your adrenak gland,which produces cortisol(similar steroid like synthetic dexamethasone).

Thanks

This is very important detail which you mentioned.

So now adrenal insufficiency also should to be ruled out,which can happen if a person is on steroids for a longer duration.I am mentioning this as this will present with similar irregual menses and similar symptoms too.
So do discuss this too with your physician.

Thanks
