Steroid shot - Do you know?
| Wed, 02-25-2009 - 5:15pm |
I had my last steroid shot today and it was probably the worst one. (They have been in my left ear.) Would they make me tired? My previous two made me feel blah but not this tired. I haven't been sleeping well lately so I am thinking that the shot and lack of sleep have just done me in. But, like I said, this was the worst one. I just want to sleep.









Aww, I hope you get some rest, Chelle. Are your symptoms better from the shots, anyway?
I don't know if steroids make you tired or not, but if you want, I will ask my DH and get back to you.
Chelle, I feel really bad that I didn't get back to you on this when I said I would. I haven't been on the board in about a week. I've been alone with 4 kids with my DH at a medical conference in Florida, and I'm so tired at night that I haven't logged on.
I did ask Michael about the steroids making you tired. He wanted to know the name of them, but then when I told him they were shots in your ear, he said they would all be similar. He said usually steroids give you insomnia, and increase your appetite, but steroids in your ear could make you dizzy or give you headaches, too. He said everyone reacts differently to different drugs, but that generally fatigue is not a major complication of steroids. He said if it's really bad, to talk to your doctor about it. He also thought maybe you weren't sleeping well at night because of the steroids, and that could make you tired during the day.
Again, I'm so sorry to have told you I would provide you with this info, and then not to have checked back in. Just to let you know, you can always feel free to email me through my profile. I wouldn't mind.
How are you feeling lately? Is your tiredness better?
Aw Sofie, it's alright.
