Hi twopack, You are absolutely correct about the steroids being of two different types, However, from what I have read, I understand that they are metabolized in a similar fashion. As for Solu-Medrol making joints feel better, this would be the case with reduced swelling, but it looks like I was retaining water pretty heavily, so this is probably where the stiffness and soreness came from.
I had my first experience with Solu-Medrol infusion in early August. My relapse had just started and was worsening daily-right before I was due to start training for my new job!
The immediate side-effects were quite obvious and well documented. I'm having less success finding out about long-term side-effects-in particular, rapid weight gain. I noticed the bloating quite early in my treatment, especially in my face and abdomen.
Last October, I broke out in hives two weeks after my first round of Solu-Medrol treatment. Since it was so long after the fact, I can't see how it could have been related. What is weird though is that I cannot think of any other possible trigger. The hives just appeared out of the blue. I did not eat or drink anything different and was taking no other meds. Whatever I was reacting to, it was not as bad as yours sounds. I just broke out in itchy, big red hives all over my body.
I was diagnosed with Lupus Nephritus IV , my doctor had me do a 3 day IV treatment of 1g solu Medrol , each, that was a week ago. I was already on prednisone 60 mg a day and right before the treatment Cellcept was added. I am feeling like I got hit by bus ! I read elsewhere that most of my current issues are withdrawal from the Solu Medrol . I was wondering if anyone else has had this treatment and how long it took to feel" normal" ?
I am sorry to hear about your reaction to solu-medrol. I too am a newly diagnosed ms friend. I recently was hospitalized for my ms and took the 3 day course as well. The only reaction I had was an increase in my blood glucose which caused me to have to have insulin shots. I have heard so many different side effects that I would say yours is not uncommon. Keep your chin up, and be glad for every sunrise you see.
t have a definite answer for your question other than its quite possible that the Solu-Medrol has messed up your menses. It may have done it by two different mechanisms. The first is by failing to allow the endometrium to develop. The more likely was is by failing to allow the endometrium to shed.
If the problem is this second - not shedding of the endometrium - this can be serious. This problem is linked to the possible development of endometrial cancer.
Does Solu-Medrol cause bone aching to be worse and what do you find can ease this awful symptom?
All of my MRI's have shown only tiny lesions that are in my subcortical white matter and my doctor has attributed those to my migraines that I suffered in my mid-twenties. I am now 38 years old. But my doc does beleive that I am presenting with "clinical MS".
I have since had my first exacerbation in the form of ON and just finished a 6 day course of oral Solu-Medrol at home. The course of Solu-Medrol was initially supposed to be for 3 days, but there was no improvement of my condition, so the Doc decided to prescribe 3 more days worth. When I asked the Doctor about beginning D.M.D.s again, she said that I would need to discuss it with my Neurologist. I did so, and my Neurologist booked me an appointment for the end of this month.
