'Out Of Gas'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Want to know the definition of irony? Having an allergic reaction (rash, general itchiness ALL OVER) to goddamned STEROIDS.
Heh. I had a reaction last weekend I think to something in the sugar scrub they used in my mani-pedi. So incredibly aggrivating because freshly manicured nails don't scratch. And I couldn't find the dog's benadryl, so I had to dope myself up on Nyquil and go to bed early.
Oh, geez, well yay for not have lupus or sarcoidosis. Also, rest assured that if it is lupus, I'll be able to call it a good half hour before your doctors.
Jessica, I hope D gets better quickly.
In other news, apparently Drew Barrymore was in my neighborhood last night, scouting locations for a movie about roller-derby! Ypsilanti!
Is derby big there?
Good luck Aims! Here's hoping your new boss isn't, well, corporate Voldemort.
Steph, when I've gotten that, it's been skin yeast infections.
Has it happened within a day of starting the 'roids? I assumed that the fairly short reaction time meant allergic reaction.
Plus, having had allergic reactions to other drugs (because my body apparently WANTS TO KILL ME), this is pretty much the same.
t edit I know it sounds crazy, but when my ear canals itch uncontrollably, it's a sure sign of a systemic allergic reaction.
Jesus. I've become one of the patients we publish articles about in my own journal.
Ok. Very good points. You're probably right. And, honestly, it doesn't surprise me. Steroids are evil.

Well, I'd never presume to diagnose someone else (although I'm sure I *have*), but since my immune system is determined to kick my ass, I *do* recognize these symptoms when they show up *in me.*
The super fun part is that I've been totally off my Zoloft for 1 week today, so I'm already having withdrawal-induced BIG TIME mood swings. Add 'roid rage to that, and I am 10 pounds of crazy in a 5 pound bag.
My co-workers are calculating minimum safe distance.

They should play it safe and send you home to enjoy a 3-day weekend!

I can *so* relate. And recently. My last steroid-induced crazies were added to already-stressed crazies and almost landed me inside the hospital. It's so not fun, and I'm sorry you're getting to experience it too. I never wish steroids on anyone.
