Teresa- Hi how are you- I have been off the last week or so- had a spinal shot for the pain in my back and spine- It caused me to be more un-balanced-sick, dizzy, buzzing in my hear, head aches, and terrible mood swings- I told the Dr. Office that and some of the side affects could have been increased from Parkinson's- do you think that true-or makes any sense? It has hung on for the past 7 days now- the mood in constant internal anxiety- like never before- again the answer was its-Parkinson's- What is your take on all of this. when you have time- Thank you much-JJAMES

@johnjames Hi JJames: I was out of town for a few days and I just saw your message. I am so sorry to hear of the side-effects of this shot. However, I have never heard of anyone with PD getting a spinal shot for the pain - might you be referring to an Epidural? If your doctor thinks that some of the side-effects were increased by the PD, that certainly may be the case. Were you given any literature about the injection? Are you feeling any better now? Teresa
