Hello everyone,
The past month I have somehow injured my left knee and had to see a doctor about surgery. Subsequently,, he gave me an injection of cortisone etc. to help relieve the pain until I can get in for surgery. However, as he was giving me the shot, I was remembering an article by Br. Burrascano, a well known Lyme literate doctor. The article had stated that steroids were absolutely not advised for Lyme patients. I didn't say anything, hoping the article was untrue. Sure enough, I have been miserable ever since the day of the shot. I have been achy all over, the fatigue is back and I feel terrible. Has anyone else had the same reaction to steroid shots for their back or their knees? Have you had to refuse these types of shots for pain control? I would be very interested for comments on any experience you might have with steroids? At this point, I would highly recommend that you not use steroids at all cost. I will keep you posted as to their continued effect on me.
I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas and will have a great New Year. Thank you for visiting my blog!
Be well,
Richard

About Me
- rbowman838
- Pueblo, Colorado, United States
- I am a Chronic Lyme disease patient. I was bitten by a tick in 2001 and have been very sick ever since. Subsequently, you could say I am a Lyme disease junkie.I thirst for any information about it,any treatments, research etc. It has been a life altering experience, which has kept me away from our business and at home most of the time. I use to own A-1 Barricade and Sign Inc. here in Pueblo, Co, but because of the Lyme disease, my sons are running the business for the most part with my wife. I have been married for 48 years to a wonderful woman who is also my best friend. We have five children, all grown. Four boys live here in Pueblo and my only daughter lives in Bonney Lake, Washington. We miss her a lot. I have 7 grandchildren, which are the greatest of all. They are all exceptionally beautiful! The last thing you need to know about me is that I am proud to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Because of this I have the knowledge that life is eternal and that it does not end here, but it will go on after death because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. This truth I bear witness of!
