Hey there,
an orthopedist convinced me last Monday to go on cortisone for week, to relieve a pinched nerve in my neck. Well, the nerve got relieved but, holy cow, this stuff is horrible. I feel like crap in every way. Can't exercise because I get winded, can't sleep cause I'm somehow wired, digestive distress and bloating (in five days I put on close to 8lbs - tomorrow is my daugter's Confirmation and I don't think I fit into my suit atm)... feel "weird" in other ways... sort of floating and no sense of time... the stuff seems to have re-wired me.
It's only for another two days, and then that's it for this experiment.
I'm wondering if anyone else has ever reacted to cortisone like this. And, any tips on de-toxing this crap out of my body when I'm done with it?
Been going to the sauna regularly, which is probably all I need, combined with a nice salt rub, but I'm wondering about dietary methods as well.
Here's the mri pic from my neck:
