First of all I just typed 3 paragraphs and then hit some key and lost it. I hope it didn't go thru to the moderator because then I've posted twice. *sigh*
Anyway, I just did 3 days of IV steroids for the first time on Thurs, Fri & Sat. The process went well with my only real side effect being a very flushed face for a couple of hours each morning.
Sunday I was fine. Didn't really feel any different.
Then starting yesterday I went all haywire. I'm more off balance than usual. I'm so shaky that it's embarrassing. I'm an insurance agent so have to deal with clients and here I am shaking like a leaf and also in such a fog I have a hard time saying and doing what I need to do. The pain in my left hand is back to where it was before I started taking the Lamictal it was helping with the pain. And I'm really, really tired.
Is this normal to feel so much worse after the steroid treatment? And if so, how long does it last? I'm considering not even going into work today and just feel terrible for that too. Like I'm such a burden and should be able to "deal" with this. But I feel so awful that all I want to do is sit here. Please tell me this is normal and that I will feel better.
