Hi, My name is Kim I've gone for steriod infusions and have taken it in pill form orally.before. No matter how slowly I tapered down or how long or short the treatment went on for I always end up with very painful and sensitive to touch starting near my belly button up to the middle of my face .. I couldn't even wear shirt thats how bad it was. It would start feeling like this the day after completing my scheduled dose . Has anyone else experience this too?
