My joints were giving me misery, arthritis and other inflammations cause a lot of pain for me.
I had my first shot in the muscle of Cortisone to help with the inflammation but it lowered my immune system and I've caught a cold.
Let me tell you, I haven't had a cold in so long I can't even remember. It's been many years. It's rare for me to get the flu or a cold. Like maybe once every 8 years if that.
Now I have the classic symptoms plus the worry that bacteria could cause an infection as well because my immune system is turned down so low.
Honestly, I think I'd rather have the pain in the joints. I doubt I'll ever get another one of these shots.
I'm going to start taking some herbs that will help boost my immune response. Should have done that as soon as my nose got stuffy.
Wish me a speedy recovery.
