I was suffering SEVERELY after receiving steroid injections into my back with PANIC, ANXIETY, INSOMNIA, HOT FLASHES, and menstrual issues. The man who gave me the injections did not ask if I had a history of panic/anxiety, nor did he ask how many previous steroids had I received, nor did he inform me of any side effects.

The DAY AFTER the injections I woke up with severe panic and hot flashes!! Then no sleep and anxiety ALL DAY for days!! Went to the ER, and at least they told me it WAS the steroid..I was given Valium, and was able to sleep...although not the best. My primary care agreed this was from the steroid, as well as the MD who injected me, and all they said I could do was: WAIT it out.

After being in the ER over 4 times in 3 months being told by psychs, nurses, and MD's that I could be suffering from pre-menopause (funny the day after the shot I went into menopause LOL), suffering GREATLY, I found by the grace of God, Dr. CHISTY!! He told me that what I had read about steroid induced psychosis is REAL, and diagnosed me with Steroid Induced Mood Disorder.

He started me on Valium, daily; I had taken it in the past for nearly 4 months with 2 months of weaning and had no issues. Without that: I was a WRECK. My kids were in school, I was in online college classes, and my husband was about to lose his job from missing so much work to take me in and out of the ER.

Although I HATE meds, DISLIKE most Doctors especially the one's here in Colorado (SO MEAN and treat you like a number), I had no choice. I tried SSRI'S, Antipsychotics, and other meds in the past for anxiety/panic...and NONE worked for me, honestly not even Valium did at the time. Yet THIS TIME...IT WORKED!! Not the best at first, and even though I felt like I could use more, I chose to suffer a little and stuck with the same dose as Dr. Chisty said over the months the steroid effects would ware off and I would be better.

I am now starting month 6 since the shot from HELL, and I just started to notice changes. So Dr. Chisty and all the info. I found online about this issue were CORRECT, it WAS the steroid!! Thank you Dr. Chisty for you knowledge, kindness, and help!! I think i'm nearly ready to stop the Valium and wean, and hopefully with the Lord's help as with the last time, I will have NO WITHDRAW symptoms.

I also will say, I was on medicaid when I started to see him...he accepted it and got me in RIGHT AWAY when other's said it could be MONTHS. Unfortunately medicaid is dinking around with Dr. Chisty and won't allow him to accept medicaid, but he is working on it. So I had to HUNT for another Psych Dr that takes medicaid in the North Denver area...YEAH, either they won't help you on Benzos, won't take medicaid, don't take new patients, or are out of network and you need special permission from medicaid to see them.

I turned to REGULAR MD's...primary care docs for help...WHAT A JOKE so far. They looked down on me for taking this med that has gotten me through this nightmare!! They did not even really believe the "steroid" caused my issues; even after showing them Dr. Chisty's diagnosis in writing!!

I love Colorado's beauty, but for people who are disabled, or are struggling and NEED to be on temporary medicaid...this is NOT the state for help!! IOWA was so much better for help...full coverage dental, medical, mental health and eyes...and you can see almost ANY doctor and they take medicaid with NO PROBLEM!! Colorado...for a liberal state...you system is AWFUL!!

ANYWAY. Dr. Chisty and his staff are bending over backwards trying to help me get a "Single Case Agreement" to be seen. If I don't get my case accepted, they STILL are willing to lower fees to help me!! Even if you are dirt poor, if you are desperate for help...you can pay this fee; it is NOT that high!!

May the Lord BLESS THEM and their kind hearts for not labeling me, or thinking i'm nuts, or thinking i'm drug seeking!! I HIGHLY recommend him, he may not spend a lot of time with you, but SO WHAT...he knows what he's talking about!! He also does not have others waiting for an HOUR just to see him that way!! WAY TO GO KAHN and Dr. CHISTY!!
