I have high blood pressure treated with hydrochlorothiazide. As much as I love basking in the sun with a book, I can't for prolonged periods. The diuretic increases skin photosensitivity (sunburn easily). Of course, I was recently diagnosed with rosacea a little less than a year ago. Another reason to slather on sunblock.
Last Friday, I got a cortisone injection into the shoulder bursa. Before I agreed to it, I asked the doctor if he's seen worsening blood pressure with the shot. (I just finished a month of Mobic, melixicam, a once-a-day Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drug that can increase blood pressure, but I checked frequently and had been fine.) While high blood pressure patients are going to be fine, diabetes patients need to be careful, because it could worsen the blood sugar levels and also increase the risk of infection with the breech of skin. (Don't ever look at the long needle.)
The most common side effect was the worsening pain within 24 hours. Since it was expected, I tolerated it. I even iced the site of injection. The worst was not that, though. It was the facial flushing 12 hours after I had received the injection. I had been out with my son's playgroup, but had worn sunblock. I figured it was a sunburn or acute rosacea anyway because I had not expected the facial flushing that occurs in 15% of patients, especially females. My face felt like it was emitting flames. Then I noticed a contact dermatitis reaction from the bag I wore while running. Eventually (after 24 hours), both areas began to cool down.
What have I learned? It doesn't hurt to ask about all the side effects from a cortisone (or any injection).

ReplyDeleteI am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes,Shingles, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid,Parkinson's,Alzheimer’s disease,Bechet’s disease,Crohn’s disease
