my last period started 15 days ago. 7 days ago i had a cortisone shot for a pretty severe episode of eczema. the itching is finally gone but today i woke up and have been bleeding like a period. i have also felt moody for the last week and had an upset stomach for a few days after the injection. nobody told me this could happen and from some of the other posts it looks like a lot of doctors do not really recognize this as a side effect of cortisone. i work as a medical assistant in an ob/gyn office but i say unless u really have a problem that is requiring some type of meds it is really best just to take care of your own problems! every time something comes up and i have to go to the doctor i am always so disappointed by the treatment, they just never really seem to be that concerned about anything other than getting onto the next patient. i thought this last doctor would be different because he and the doctor i work for have seen each others patients for years and know each other well but i was still disappointed. i guess i would rather be bleeding than itching because it was so bad and also painful. i also tried to discuss food allergies and that kind of thing as the cause of this but of course was given the brush on that subject as well. other than the itching being gone, looks like i'm back to square one on my own again!
