I have started using a new computer, and have been too lazy before now to find this board, since it was not bookmarked on the new computer. Surprisingly I remembered my user name and password. That can only be a good thing.

So I back in late Sept. I got pneumonia, which has cleared up now, but since then, I have had pretty sever bronchitis, and am on half days at work, and coughing and hacking, etc.

Now the interesting thing is, I have now twice had a big steroid shots for the bronchitis, but both times for several days after my unceasing headache was greatly reduced, and perhaps have had an easier time focusing and maybe a bump in short term memory (both of which could also be due to less head pain). It didn't improve or reduce irritability, but then again constant coughing and shortness of breath is very irritating. It also didn't seem to do anything for poor balance, but again I also have much fluid in my ears and sinuses.

Has anyone had any experience with steroids and effects on their PCS symptoms?

Others have mentioned how steroid shots have improved their symptoms. Some had the shots administered to treat their PCS symptoms. The problem is steroids are only a short term remedy. Long term use is not good.

At least you had a reduction in symptoms while your bronchitis was also making you feel poorly.

My best to you.
