As part of my Medicare Advantage plan I have a counseling session once a week via Skype. I got three names that are in their network and the first two I called were so negative, kinda like everybody’s stressed out and we have no room for you, and the third I feel like I struck gold.

Hi lissa!
thanks so much for replying to this post. I’m so sorry that you also had a reaction to the shot.
In my case, it was an EXTREMELY painful injection and it was a reaction to the pain itself. No new symptoms, just a cascade effect of all old ones!

I just had a cortisone shot and my body freaked out as well. I even have new MS symptoms popping up a couple days later. This makes no sense to me because steroids is usually what we’re given to calm down a relapse.

Thank you for your post. Did you ever figure out if it was the shot that caused the ms symptoms or was it a coincidence?

Thank you @professorlockerbie, you are far from alone, as I mention in the article, it’s extremely common, probably even more so than we know because people don’t like to talk about it.

I’ve been in therapy for depression, anxiety, and acceptance. It’s been very difficult but I am starting to see some hope. Diagnosed in November 17 and had to stop working (26 years of teaching). I hid from the world sticking my toe in the world once in a while. Working hard on living the life I do have and acceptance of the losses. This disease…
