Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Herpes / December 2005Question about Steroids
I heard that steroids are bad for genital herpes. I had problems using hydrocortisone cream in the past because of this. Well anyway, I recently had a knee problem and had to have a cortisone shot in my knee. In addition I have asthma so I was using my albuterol inhaler this week for some asthma attacks. I also took Relafen, Celebrex and Aleve for the pain in my knee. I was wondering if any of these are steroids? I wonder this because I recently have been having a multitude of outbreak related problems lately. I have been having such bad throbbing and tingling in different areas down yonder that I am thinking I did something to sabotage myself. In addition I think my family is trying to sabotage me because my aunt made this chocolate bundt cake with nuts and I had eaten some of it without thinking and now I am regretting it. The medicines I will probably be using on a regular basis are Albuterol inhaler, and Aleve (Naprosen) or possibly Celebrex both are anti inflammatory drugs. The cortisone shot was just once. Thanks, Al >Relafen, Celebrex and Aleve for the pain in my knee. I >was wondering if any of these are steroids? No clue. For info on that sort of thing, I usually plug the names into a search engine like Google or Yahoo etc. That'll pulls up fact sheets that might be informative. > family is trying to sabotage me because my aunt made this chocolate bundt >cake with nuts Yes, aunts can be brutal this time of year ;-) M2 I can help you with the bundt cake. :) Pass it on over here. I had seven cortisone shots in the course of a month or so. I did not have an outbreak after this. But that was me. ar >I heard that steroids are bad for genital herpes.

Today after I left my OBGYN's office there were at least three more questions I could have asked. So, when I got home I just wrote them down and will save them for next time.

Too many cortizone shots are very dangerous..for the body don't know about for the H...surprised any doc gave more than 3 or 4 in a year...Stan > That's ok Al ~ > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Angela :-) >Too many cortizone shots are very dangerous..for the body don't know >about for the H...surprised any doc gave more than 3 or 4 in a year...Stan Absolutely. But sometimes you gotta have them. ar New to this group as I just realized I have Oral HSV1. But, I know a fair amount about steroids. They come with warnings to avoid the Herpes virus due to increased susceptability. Steroids can suppress your immune system. I have spent 12 years around oral hsv1 -- ex husband and now my daughter -- and never broke out until having my immune system suppressed. I have no way of knowing how long the virus has been in my body, but I am certain that the outbreak was triggered by the drugs. Shari >I heard that steroids are bad for genital herpes.
