Have you had a steroid shot lately and do you know where to check to see if your clinic got a shipment of the bad drugs?

Steroids are causing fungal meningitis. The CDC has a list of the clinics that got the bad drugs. If anyone needs a link here it is.

Thank you for the link. I have a friend who had a steroid shot for back pain, and I will forward the link to him.

@Hawaii_Jake You’re a good friend Jake. I got a steroid shot for an allergic reaction a few weeks ago. Scary stuff when your meds do you in. Most of the bad drugs were for back pain this time.

My back was screwed up last week and I almost was desperate enough to get one of those useless shots. Then I heard the news. Glad I just say NO!
