Hi Leesa! I have had scalp lesions injected with steroids. The injections shrunk and healed the nodules. I experienced no negative side effects. In terms of the psychological/emotional effects of PN, I focus on the positive aspects in my life. I live with several chronic diseases so staying positive is survival and happiness for me. If you can, try to focus on things you love and bring you happiness. For me, it is phoning a friend, reading, playing Mah Jongg, taking a walk, prayer and meditation. Try to focus on your joy. It will get better once you have a reliable treatment plan in place.πππ
