Re: Got a shot of Evil Candy today

[Guest guest]

Hi Doug

I really hope that because it was not a systematic steriod, that you do

not suffer the hyperness from this shot!

I remember having cortisone (not sure what type) shot into my shoulder

a couple of times (about 5 years ago) due to a break of my

humerus....the shot didn't feel very good, but I did no side effects

from the steriods.

Good luck!

Doug - hang in there. My husband has gotten that type of shot a

couple of times - when his rotator cuff was torn - and tolerated it

fairly well.

Let us know how you're doing.

Thanks Addy,

I got that injecton at 11 AM yesterday. With all the Depo-Medrol it had

in it, why is my asthma worse today??? I have had to neb twice in a 4

hour period.

It sure did make my blood sugar zoomed up real fast. I Got it down to 85 with

2.5 mg. of Glyburide.

No exercise today Just bed rest. I hate that! I am an active person.
