I just got my first steroid shot and it has relieved all of my fibro pain but I have had some side effects too. I had what they call Steroid Flush. My face was fiery red and hot for two days. Also, I had diarrhea the day after. Now I am feeling really good, but are you supposed to keep getting them? The Dr. that did mine, said that maybe it wasn't fibromyalgia, maybe it was a bulging disc. I don't know if that's true or if he is just one of those doctors that don't believe fibromyalgia exists. It is so frustrating.View Thread
