solumedrol
She told me that she had taken the steroid 3 different times for life or death situations and saved her life every time but left her with this crazy side effects. She told me every time she took it, the side effects left her within 32 days exactly but for me it didn't go away for months, and I sometimes still feel weird like the side effects but my aunt said this could just be stress or my mind playing tricks but either way I don't like it.
coming with hat in hand is how in te world do ones manage the bizarre psychotic type side effects from the IV solumedrol? I just finished yet another five course today and frankly I had hugs melt down scared my caegiver.. and fnally made th eprimary car e doc understand thath 72 hours of mania, depression, wailing, and all that jazz was no acceptable.
This is the first time I have dome them in a home setting versus in patient..could that be afcator? or am I just a little nutty...
I am wondering what kind of results has anyone had from the prednisone and how soon you may have noticed a difference. My biggest problems have been the shocking pains, tickling skin, and numbness in my hands. The numbness in my hands doesn't feel so bad as it did earlier today, usually it feels as if the circulation is being cut off or tightness.
Thank you in advance!
My only problem right now is vision loss. I have had 3 days IV solumedrol and am now on oral prednisone. Has anyone else had the vision problem and how long did it take for improvement or did it improve at all? I'm new to all this.
three months ago i received a shot of prednisone for fire ant allergies. i have a minor case of cirrhosis, the shot was 120mg, i was weighting at 135lb and in poor health. that night i experienced the first headache of my life. it was a sharp pain lasting a second right in the middle of my brain. next couple days i had a brain fog that was also new to me. naturally i did not take the steroid pills for weaning. and now three months later, my body has changed.
I had one of two treatment options IV solumedrol again or I could try oral prednisone, this is the option I choose for now, because I had many side effects from the solumedrol. I had to go on insulin, it made my gallbladder go bad and I had to have it removed, I also developed hospital acquired pneumonia from my immune system not working, and I also had lots of problems sleeping. Also this time I have heaviness in my legs with muscle twitching.
My body reacts quickly to corticosteroids. I recently had very bad flare and self-medicated with methylprednisolone (I have a standing RX for this). Cleared up/reduced most of my symptoms with just 12mg. This would be equiv to 15mg prednisone. Used for 3 days, no taper. Got rid/reduced deep muscle pain, torticollis, paresthesias (whole body), MS hug, headache, and some motor control issues. I weigh 100lbs.
I don't like high-dose or extended treatment with corticosteroids.
I would make sure you go to your other scheduled appointment on the 15th with the other neuro. Benign and 'mild' MS aren't really terms the grown up neuros use. It sounds like he's hedging a bit.
That being said, the treatment he proscribed may well be of assistance to you. But for comparison the standard dose for the treatment of an MS flare is 5x that. (1000mg methylprednisolone via IV infusion for 3-5 days).
I am also diabetic @ bood sugars are higher than usual is this a side effect of prednisone,have 3 more days on prednisone should I stop?
My experiences with solumedrol, also three days (on each of two separate relapses), were both very positive. The most intense effects were gone by the time I started the prednisone taper, I suspect that is what you mean by "leveled off." I believe the drugs are out of your system within a couple of days.
I am currently being treated with 1 gm Solumedrol once/month. I had a three day course last spring and felt AWFUL afterwards. I did eventually feel a bit better overall, so maybe it was worth it. Even the one day dose makes me feel pretty lousy. My sx actually seem to get worse for a few days afterward!
I'm not dx, but symptomatically fit the diagnostic criteria (we'll see what the 3T MRI has to say...
Those sound like normal side effects of prednisone. Nasty drug but can save a dog's life. My golden has been taking 50mg daily for 2 months and the side effects are horrible.

Wow, didn't need to get slammed for providing feedback on a drug that has so far proved its usefullness to me in 3 days. I spoke with a number of people who have used both Acthar and SoluMedrol (I've never tried IVSM), and most will never use SoluMedrol again, too many side effects that actually happen vs. few if any on Acthar. This includes one woman who went from wheelchair to walking in 5 days.
