@dadcue Thank you for the link! The Kenalog injection gives me no side effects, but oral prednisone turns me into an absolute raving, uncontrolled maniac so I stay far away from it.

Sorry this happened to you. I have seen this happen to people countless times. Normal people in the hospital for various reasons would suddenly be transferred to a Medical-Psych unit after being administered corticosteroids.
What amazed me more was when a "self proclaimed" PMR expert who thought she knew everything about Prednisone said in all of her years of experience, she had only heard of this happening once. I knew she didn't have any experience to know this happens frequently in a hospital. We didn't say people became psychotic because of the stigma. We used different terminology and said they were having "mental status changes."
