Ok. Very good points. You're probably right. And, honestly, it doesn't surprise me. Steroids are evil.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Very good points. You're probably right.
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.

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.

Is derby big there?
I don't know about "big", but there's a local league. Aims was talking about trying to join at one point.

Steroids are evil.
Except when they're the closest thing medicine has to a miracle.

I hope it's a great day of many great days to come at your new job, Aimee.

It's just bizarre, because, like I said, I've taken this exact dose pak before, and never had this reaction.
I just looked in the mirror, and my face is WAY more flushed than it was when I left the house. It feels like a sunburn. (And I haven't been in the sun recently. Plus my makeup has a 15 SPF.) Grr.

Right? It's just SO WEIRD that a drug that's supposed to STOP inflammation is making me all inflame-y.
My drug of choice: irony.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I had a facial recently and mentioned this same thing. The enethitician (or however you spell it) just laughed at me and asked if I reapplied it every hour.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Steroids are a special kind of evil - sure, they might save your life, but you'll be all kinds of miserable about it.
