I heard this with another patient, and we were chatting about whether it was the condition that caused her to receive the steroid, or was it the steroid itself that caused the problems? I will tell you that I have chronic candida and chronically high antibody titers to CMV and EBV (viruses). I had a cortisone shot in my shoulder and I was sick for 6 weeks! I wonder if some of us have borderline immune function issues, and cortisone is too much for us, causing a surge in our infections (and an igniting of the inflammatory cascade) causing vascular damage and POTS flares. I kinda’ sorta’ think that is what happens to me! 😉 I’m curious, too, if others have experienced this… Thanks for bringing up the question! 😉
