Subject: Worrying about steroid injection:(

hiya I had a local steroid injection on wednesday after being persuaded by my rheummy nurse.
Over the last couple of days I have constantly been feeling thirsty and hungry, this is completely out of character for me, I cannot afford any weight gain at all as already overwight has anyone else experienced this?

Take care all xx

Hello Dilizjo, all part and parcel of steroids. It is a pain in the beackside excuse the pun. It should wear off quick if you are just having the one injection.I just took a weeks worth orally but lucky for me (i think) I was also on anti-biotics which left me feeling sick all day so no weight gain thank god. I also need to shed more weight. Its a constant battle. Hope it all settles for you soon Take Care X

Hello Dilizjo
I was the same, you couldn't fill me, but it does wear off after a few days. But i reckon with every injection i have put on weight and haven't taken it off.
