Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Chelle – what kind of reaction did you have to the steroids? I am really sorry, after travelling so far that you had such a bad time of it. This is the first time I think that you mentioned the bad reaction. There has to be a combination that agrees with you. Are you writing down the combination that did not work, or are you just not going to use any steroids at all? nne From: VulvarDisorders [mailto:VulvarDisorders ] On Behalf Of Chelle Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2008 1:29 PM To: VulvarDisorders Subject: Re: Chelle - injections millburytimes wrote: Chelle, did any of the injections help you? Hey nne, I do believe the injections reduced the overall amount of inflammation -- mainly with the PN. They helped calm my bladder 'some' - I have IC. But other than that, they didn't do anything else. I never had the pain leave for even an hour after both rounds of the PN blocks. Still cannot sit without pain. I have really, really had a hard time due to the steroids used in the blocks. I will not have anymore injections without first doing a diagnostic with ONLY the anesthetic. Of course, as you already know, that wasn't really an option when flying to NH. I did what I thought best at the time. Dr. Quesada did tell me that I could use a different type of steroid for future injections - after I explained the side effects. I'm not sure what is up with my body, but I just don't do well with meds. Hang in there, nne. ~Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
