Hi---Thanks so much for your response. Ddid you have moon face? How long did it take to go away? Do you still have it? What about the irregularities in your menstual cycle? Has that corrected itself?View Thread
Thanks for your response! I had a few follow up questions:
How long does it take the water retention and/or the moon face to subside after the cortisone clears the system? I still had a puffy face three months after the first two shots and it got puffier after the third.
Additionally, the injections interrupted my menstrual cycle---I have not had a regular period since January---either skipping, having three week long periods with almost black colored blood, stopping and starting, etc. I have always been very regular. How can this be corrected or will this subside in time? If so, how long?
I've also experienced an unusual amount of cystic acne and abnormal facial hair growth since the first injection in January. My skin also has been bruising very easily. Would this be an indication, combined with my other symptoms, that my cortisol levels are abnormally high?View Thread
