had four epidural shots, two weeks apart. The first set I had no serious side effects, the second shots my life turned to hell. My face, neck, stomach, and back are so swollen. I have high blood pressure, which needs to be treated with medicine. I got thrush in my mouth, (which is a yeast infection), and yeast infection. Also my periods are so abnormal. Also been getting foot cramps, I'm tired all the time and my mood swings are insane. It's been six weeks today and the symtoms are the same. I talked to many docters and they all said it is the epidural shots that caused all of this. The docter who can help you is going to be an endocrinologist. I would suggest you go to one immediatly. Explain to them that received the epidural shots, and let them know about all your symptoms. They should check your thryroid, and your adrenals. I'm still waiting for my results, I'm praying that they will help me some how. It doesn't seem fair that anyone should have to go through this. The docter who gave you these shots should have told you to see an endocrinologist. It can potentially be dangerous. By the way my dr never warned me about this either. I don't think I would ever have gotten these shots. I really feel for you and wish you good luck.
