ibuprofen and steroids

This can make you have a fever and turn bright red for hours, an ibuprofen will take care of that, it can cause insomnia a few days too

I have only ever had oral steroids, just over a year ago and they did not appear to make that much difference to me that I was aware of when I was in relapse/ I am now in my 4th week of relapse and have made no progress and if anything am a little worse. I go back to see my neuro next week and if I am still feeling like this I guess I may have to reconsider IV steroids but this was described by him as a mild relapse. (I.e. not optic neuritis or loss of total mobility in one leg.

) I took it steadily for awhile due to the pain behind my eye and vision issues and some of the pain I was having. It did seem to lesson my symptoms. Has anyone else noticed that? I have yet to given steroids but I might ask my new Neuro to try it for my double vision. See if it might help. My vision is really bad today.

the poster who wrote about ketoprofen is correct. it is an NSAID like ibuprofen and although not steroids, NSAIDS do the same thing for inflammation and pain (just not quite as well) and are safe (unless you have ulcer or kidney disease). you do not need a prescription, ketoprofen works the same way as ibuprofen just in different dosages. there is also a perscription med called feldine that is similar.

I'm in the middle of being tested for thyroid problems, after having some sore areas in the front of my neck and being diagnosed in the ER with "anterior neck phlegmon" and treated with antibiotics and steroids. After two days, they were "puzzled" because the cat scan showed inflammation, but the thyroid ultrasound showed normal looking nodules nothing more.

It’s been a week already and I’ve been taking steroids, ibuprofen and Benadryl at the same time. Today I forgot for a second I don’t have a voice when I woke up this morning. And when I said a word by accident, I heard my voice and realized there was no improvement. I’m so scared I’ll never get my voice back. My voice has never been gone for this long. Has anyone else been through this and actually recovered by getting their voice back? I’m just really scared it will never come back.

or contristriction - I did call the doctor office and left message with MS nurse - but no call back and pain subsided when I took Ibuprofen - it got better for a few days then on Sunday - yesterday started back - I slept well last night after posting this and no pain this morning thus far - but yes - if I get it today again I'm calling the doctor - I go in next tuesday for my 6 month check up anyway... Thanks for responding to this question though - this is a great website!

Thank you for getting back to me- i forgot to mention he has seen his Doctor and is on 4000 mg acyclovir a day-( since Wednesday today is Sunday and is to continue taking it for 10 days) the swelling has gotten worse- both eyes are swollen as is the bridge of his nose-he has a catlike or lion like appearance swollen and flat between the eyes- the area where the tear ducts are- is swollen his eyelashes get caught on the bridge of his nose-hsi eliptical folds are disappearing-he can see clearly-

I have a fever (101degrees Fahrenheit) for 3 weeks and it can be abated with ibuprofen. The left hand side of my neck is very sensitive to touch and swallow. I have loss of appetite. When I am feverish, I feel rather week and achy. My doctor has given me prescription of further blood test (T4 & T5, I think), chest x-ray and ultrasound of my neck. The fever comes on the afternoon like clock work. I am very concerned. Please help me.

After a few hours it abated to just a rash, same thing happened the next day, however the hives were much worse, and even after two days of steroids and just taking benadryl, they kept getting worse. His lip was a tiny bit swollen and he said he felt dizzy. I took him to the er and by the time we saw the doc. it was starting to receed and was more of a flat rash. They said it was maybe 'viral' even though he has not been sick at all. No other symptoms.

t take my medicine while pregnant either so my symptoms are worse than ever. During my first pregnancy with my son I was on steroids and pain medication nearly the whole time. Im just trying so hard to avoid medication this time. I feel so lost.

my dad age 57 has been to about ever dr there is and speicalist all of his joints have severe pain feels like shattered GLASS when joints move,his hand swell esp under finger by palm and fingers lock up and after tryin 2 work his hands will become swollen and have streaks of red and itll bleed if he keeps tryin to use them his hands will get like a cats Paw ,fatigue,any activity he trys the next few days he suffers by being tired and hurting cant move etc well any advice id appreate it !

t keep him on steroids forever and it seems when he goes off fluid increases. So decided to yet again try steroids for another week. But he scheduled an appointment with a surgeon thats 3 hours away from my home in 2 weeks. If hes not better in 1 week we will keep appointment with surgeon and go have surgery done followed by a 2 day stay in a town 3 hours from home. My concern is the appointment with surgeon is 2 weeks before my due date and I'll be 3 hours from home.

Hi I have a massive period ache , therefore I took 1100 mg of ibuprofen . At first I had taken 500 mg tablet but it's been an hour and a half and it did not help , so I took an other tablet of ibuprofen of 600 mg . The pain is gone but I feel very tired , can I be harmed or die out of it ? Should I ask for help ? Or has anybody been familiar with it ? Please help me , I am a hypochondriac person and I also have OCD and use Prozac .

I took tylenol this morning. I took Ibuprofen an hour ago . I coudnnt take it anymore. It was a one time thing and i feel so much better. Will my baby be okay?

whenever i take even one 550mg (naproxen) ibuprofen and then drink, my stomach gets tender and bloated and i feel bad. i usually take a maalox or something like that, yet i never throw up from it so i don't know if that's applicable for you. i think it is due to the ibuprofen, but if you're not used to eating spicy foods then it could have disagreed with you, not necessarily meaning food poisoning. you should never drink and take NSAIDs at the same time.

Ibuprofen is bad for our livers. Try getting a massage if you can. Bromelian, a natural supplement made from pineapples helps reduce swelling but it takes time to work. Also, make sure you're drinking lots of water, and getting some exercise. Try some yoga too. Pot brownies worked the best for my back pain.

I have a infected broke off wisdom tooth during my last pregnancy my face swelled up and I was out of Tylenol so I took a 800 mg ibuprofen. Bad call for me but I was in pain and it was only once and everything turned out fine with baby so I was lucky.

hi this i defo something no about with my last pregnancy i had severe headaches and i was taking ibuprofen i was taken them all the time but i finally went to the doctors because the pain wouldn't settle and the doctor said DO NOT take ibuprofen just take cocodomal i think thats how you spell it lol.

Can Ibuprofen cause dizziness, ear pain, stuffiness, and feelings of passing out if taken several times a week?

Killer headaches, and never any Tylenol around. Ibuprofen can't be that bad huh? Got to go to work and this headache must go.

/ I take a warm bath and just relax. Try drinking some water and lying on your left side. You can take reg tylonel . that's about it .

My o b told me it causes miscarriage in early trimester and second trimester and harms the baby in the third I would stay away

Ibuprofen is never allowed.. Tylenol is only option and now that im in third trimester the pharmacy told me that doctors dont even want us taking that.

I had a really bad headache yesterday and took 6 200mg ibuprofen tablets ( 2 every 4 hours 3 times) and then I found out today your not suppose to take ibuprofen. I'm really worried, will everything be okay?

Is 3-6 200mg Ibuprofen a day for a 3-6 days a week bad for you over a long period of time?

I don't know if I'm pregnant or not but If I am can Ibuprofen harm my child during early stages of pregnancy?
