Prednisone Overdose Question

Does anyone know of a resource where I can find what taking an overdose of steroids causes "medically"  long term? I'm speaking of steroids like prednisone. Any help on this topic would be helpful. I need information to help me with my health long term and what to expect. I was given 100 mg's. over a 10 month period daily plus injections. Now I'm having serious problems. I'd like to know what I'm facing. I have had or have thyroid disease, cushions disease, a vascular necrosis, diabetes, pitutary tumor, and I'm getting a little scared.

cushing syndrome is one of the side affects of long term steroid use in high dose..also.acute adrenal insufficiency if you stop the dose to quickly that could lead to shock and even death!! You can end up with severe electrolyte imbalance so you must be weaned off it by a doctor.
