The kinds of medication (cortisone) used in these cases aren't mind altering. If this problem is something you're actually bothered by, ask your doctor specifically to explain what the medication does, what kinds of side effects are common and to follow up on it (I could too, but my time is limited).

At the very least consider it. I'd hate for somebody to be suffering from a preventable illness unneccessarily.

*There's always an asterisk, and that is that low down in the side effects depression is listed. However, this is the case even for common medication such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. Suffering from disease is also a potential cause of depression (yeah life sucks sometimes), usually with higher incidence.

Yeah, I will check with them in the autumn as it gets worse at that time.

I think it was two years or so since I last visited them, and didn't have time to ask them about it.
