so i'd never been on steroids before getting a whole bunch of them shot into my spine and trigger points with anesthetic, as treatment for the herniated discs. i sure hope it works long term, because i am never ever EVER doing this treatment (or taking any steroid) again. under any circumstances.

it was day 8, while actively suicidal because i couldn't cope with the violent impulses, that i finally figured out that my psychotic, homicidal, utterly incandescent rage at every little thing was probably from them, actually. this is day 16 and it's only now finally starting to improve.
