I don't think one injection of diprofos(betamethasone) injection taken two weeks before is the cause of your symptoms today as I don't think it will last this long in your system as its half life is only 6.5 hours...you should undergo further evaluation to rule out diseases like Cushing's, hirsutism, and any cardiac or renal or liver problems..
