Me too too! I had a cortisone shot (in april! for nasal inflamation as well! and im 37 too!). i also had my first ever strange period right after. (brown spotting one month, extra long period the next...) and my first menstrual migraines. mine finally straightened out about september. my doc agrees with me that it might have been the shot. i have no other health problems. not using other meds. not on the pill.... no changes in diet, or exercise or stress levels. the ONLY thing different was the cortisone shot.
