prednisone for multiple sclerosis

For 2 months, I have the "MS itch" on one part of my lower back. It is unbearable. Creams don't help. Ice pack provides relief for a few minutes. Sleep is fine. After up & moving for several minutes, the itching starts. Simply, my neurologist doesn't know what he's doing. He recommended Cymbalta & Lyrica!! Instead, I showed him a prominent MS website regarding itching, so he prescribed their suggestion, Neurontin.

Finally I took some prednisone I had in the house for my asthma and the next day the symptoms started to subside; I took a regime (with MD's knowledge) and all symptoms disappeared. I still get them occasionally and I try to rest which helps. If it is more severe I will take a short course of prednisone. Good luck and God bless!

What is prednisone? What is it use for? What are all of the side afects you can have when you are on this medecation?

I have multiple sclerosis and am not on a medicine right now. I just had and am going through a flare for the second time in 2 weeks. Both times I've been given a steroid injection and prednisone and have gotten a headache from both. At the time I do have high bp and have side pain from a UTI.

He told me he thought I had shingles and prescribed me prednisone for five days. In the next five days the pain in my face subsided and the sores on my tongue got worse. I started beginning to feel tingling under my left arm that seemed to stay in my left shoulder blade down underneath my arm down to my pinkies. Almost like my arm was asleep. I also started feeling tingling in my cheeks. These sensations would come and go.

The causes of twitches, shakes and tremors may be parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, tardive dyskinesia, hyperthyroidism. Certain drugs could be responsible like metoclopramide, prednisone, effexor, an antidepressant, paxil, an SSRI, wellbutrin, an antidepressant, Zoloft an SSRI and dextroamphetamine, a CNS stimulant. Consult a neurologist soon who will evaluate you for these symptoms and investigate these appropriately. Take care.

Remember there is a well known association of pars planitis with multiple sclerosis, there may be other un-yet as recognized neurological problems.

You can't very well dictate treatment to a neuro and expect to have a good future relationship. I don't suppose there's any way you could go to an ER?

Hi and welcom to the forum, I have never heard of anyone being on Medrol for that long, what are your reasons for being on it for such a long period of time? Seems to me that being on it for that long could be very problematic but I could be wrong, I am sure others will chime in. As for the DVT I don't believe that is related to MS that is more of a blood disorder if I am correct and MS is a CNS disease.

my sister (24) was diagnosed Multiple Sclerosis in 2010, responded to steroid. now she suffered sudden & complete loss of vision in her left eye. she has been put on SOLUMEDROL. please suggest any available treatment modalities world over ? chances of return of vision ??

ll ask for more to be done, and if this doc dosn;t make you feel comfortable enough to ask for more, you need to gind one who you can trust.i hope things, by that i mean answers come soon for you. dizzy is the pits, they have meds to help with a few of youe symptoms to, that should be offered so you need not suffer.

I just feel so hopeless right now cause no one has answers for how I feel. I was told also that fibromyalgia is not a reason and it is just a term for a group of problems rolled into one. I have been searching the internet for help and came across this site. My symptoms all got worse in May right after I had the flu real bad. Is this any correlation to any of this? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for you help.

no sorry i do not know a doctor to help for free but i do know that the MS Society will pay to have you get Diagnosed and pay for the scans no matter if he has it or not, but only those sets of scans'

One of them said it is all due to ur anxiety ( Cause i do not have any bladder problems and dizziness, numbness tingling all is due to anxiety) but one said its Multiple Sclerosis+ anxiety. My MRI and EEG were clear. Currently i have high frequency of muscle tingling through out my body only when i am lying on bed plus i see double vision of any statement especially ( white in colour) on TV and laptop. Is it MS? Should I start taking Med for MS or just let it be and hope it will go away?

The second is the issue where the sphincter works fine, but the bladder fails to contract. For some guy it will take some time for the bladder to empty just by gravity. Men can have a combination of the two MS can also cause ED, including failure to achieve an adequate erection, failure to maintain an erection, and decreased sensation that leads to failure to orgasm.
