Rough after treatment

Started my treatment Tuesday morning had my first steroid injection, was very achy and my joints was hurting yesterday but today I feel like I have been hit with the flu 10x bad, feel sick to the bone and worst headache ever... Is this normal after having a steroid injection?

Not normal for me when I have injections - sounds like a big lupus flare not the steroid. I would contact your clinic nurse specialist or GP if you feel the same today especially if you have any signs of infection. I presume you have started on other lupus meds besides the steroid injections?
