• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Well, I'm about to go to the doctor tomorrow and have 13 Corticosteroid injections. I used to think 13 was an unluck number until i realized that with the 12 deciples, Jesus was #13...so I like that number now. But I dont like shots...blessings and prayers are always helpful. it's almost 8pm and I think i'l already ready for bed.

This is like going to the dentist...I dread it but I know i must go. I will be getting stuck at 8:30am...please, at the very least, send me some positive energy @ 8:30 :sorry: I'm gunna need it.

I am sorry I didn't see this post until this evening. I am praying that you are not in pain.

Please let us know how your doing. I have only had one steroid injection in my shoulder but have had multiple trigger point injections. They did help, but it took me quite awhile to be willing to have them done.

Gentle Hugs

thank you...it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. The first shot got me really numb, so after that it was just sureal as ever. I dont like to be full of drugs like this...I sure do hope this helps. Natural drugs are one thing...I love herbal remidies, but this hard core steroid stuff is for the birds. I think if I was suppose to have this stuff in me, God would have made CorticoSteroid trees. (yes I feel silly, thanks to these pills). If this dosent work I get a blood test and then stamped with the title "Fibromialgia Patient" for the rest of my life...I'll keep ya posted, thanks for the thoughts and prayers!!!

I am glad things went well. I agree I like the natural stuff too, when it works for me.
I have fibro...was diagnosed several years ago, but it started in 1997. I try to stay away from the steriod shots because they destroy cartilage but I am not sure which type of steriods do this, or if it is all of them.

Let me know if I can answer any questions about fibro for you...feel free to pm me anytime.
