It is nice to have a supportive husband (BTW, hope you are feeling okay).

In the 17 months and I have been married to Husband 2.0, I have not been
sick, so we will wait and see. I had a root canal last week and he was
concerned about me. He kept asking how I was feeling for a couple of
days. He is a real wuss when it comes to going to the dentist. He will
come home, take pain medication, close the curtains and go to bed. He
seemed puzzled that I did not have my Rx filled and I did not need to
take a nap. Now, watch it just kill me on my next visit. lol I hope not!

I just had dental surgery on Thursday. The last quadrant of a full mouth of
periodontal surgeries. This last time I was given a Medrol Pack and didn't
even need the pain meds other than some ibuprofen for my tongue that seems
to have suffered the worse of it. But the steroids created another set of
problems. I don't know what is worse -- what the steroids did, or the pain
I had in the other three surgeries with just Motrin and Tylenol 3.

Oh, no, I hope you didn't have as bad a time as I did with
steriods. Talk about the cure being worse than the ailment.
I hope your surgery went well, at least.

I think so. thanks Nancy. Stitches are still in so I can only base it on the
other three. But man, a few hours after taking the Medrol pak dose (I'm on
day 3) my breathing is shallow, can't see well, and the headache from hell
that still hasn't gone away. I would quit taking it but I have no pain in
my mouth (huge plus) and it says not to discontinue without talking to the
doc. And it's Saturday. The side effects go away other than the headache
but at the time they start it is scary.

What did the steroids do to you?

Oh, and the stomach cramps until today and more that isn't appropriate in a
food group. lol
Confusion and aggression. That has mostly gone away. I have to wonder
about animals on these drugs. I have a cat with horrible allergies and he
gets a depo medrol shot when needed and I hate to think he gets these
symptoms.

Yikes, that stuff is nasty.

Blew up my innards like you wouldn't believe. By the end of the week
my abdomen was distended as if I was 11 months pregnant. Led to
all kinds of problems later, and the pain and the hallucinations weren't
that much fun, either. What a nightmare.

My little root canal was nothing, compared to what you are going
through. I am glad your surgeries are over and I hope you heal well.

It is a coincidence that I am also taking steroids, mine is for
respiratory problems. They make me feel better, but I have a hard time
sleeping, I gain 5 pounds and I am hungry all the time. Tuesday I take
my last pill.
