So, in Vortex's heart news, I have mitral valve prolapse ! So, relatively minor, don't need to take any meds, don't need to change my eating or lifestyle. Next to best possible result, I think.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
is there any possibility whatsoever of steroid eye drops letting enough steroid into the bloodstream to cause mild behavioral changes?
Yes.
Steroid injections in my hip helped mask my asthma for years when I didn't live in a place where my allergies were so bad.
I think of it as like taking Advil. The pills don't know that you're taking it for a headache or aching knees and then goes there. It just has an effect, usually many. And we like some of them. Others are all "ewwwww side effects" which just means it wasn't the effect we wanted. Like weeds are plants out of place. There's nothing specific that makes them weeds except being unwanted.
In more good news, my sister's likely going to get an offer to go permanent at her job! This is huge, and much needed for her mental health.
That is wonderful news. And awesome news on St Woot as well.
(in the most literal way possible)
Glad it was literally worth it.
I wonder if Human Flesh tastes like pork.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Eep! But, yeah, relatively minor, and not uncommon in teh wimmins. Your heart is in lots of good company.

I have mitral valve prolapse !
I don't often yay an issue like this, but YAY! Because you have an answer and know how to proceed which in this case means you don't actually have to do anything else. Including worry!

And, oh, I forgot: huzzah for St. Woot and his excellent taste and good judgment in smonster appreciation.

Oh, glad you've got a diagnosis, Vortex. I was worried about you.

Yes. I'm very glad you've got a diagnosis.
Hey, I've got a semi-clueless meds question. If I am doing something that I know will cause me muscle aches later, should I take some Aleve now? I'm putting pink extensions in my hair, which involves me reaching over my head and stretching my arms into weird positions. The last time I did it, my shoulders and upper arms were very sore the next day.
(Oh, my wacky collection of illnesses that make my muscles more susceptible to aching. I'd really like to be done with that part.)

If you can keep the inflammation down from the start, less pain.
