Hi,
Normally height can be increased up to the age of 20 years but as you are using steroid since long it might have adverse effect on your bones.
Secondly the diseases you are suffering may cause lack of nourishing stuff,minerals etc will disturb your borne growth.
So I am doubtful regarding your increasing height.
I find this answer helpful
