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 have just been weaned off of steroids after being on them for a month (MD put me on IV Solu-Medrol every 2 hours when I was hospitalized recently for bronchitis; followed by Medrol Dose pack which did not work, followed by prednisone). The side effects of the steroids were intolerable. When I was on them, I felt better and functioned better, but had horrible insomnia and euphoria.
Famliy Dr started a Decadron taper saying that it looks like MS but symptoms worsened. Neuro started IV Solu-Medrol 500mg x5 days and today was the last dose. Still numb arm. Just curious if any of you have experienced anything like this or how long it may take to get some relief from Solu-Medrol. Any information is very much so appreciated. Kinda freaking out here!!! Thanks!
I will have my first solu-medrol treatment at the end of this week. I have read the opinion of one person who has had this treatment before and they said that you should not drive or work. It was not clear if they were referring to just hours after the treatment or the entire five day course. I really need to work, and in order to work, I really need to be able to drive. Please tell me your experience with solu-medrol, especially if you continued to work during the treatment course.
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.
Hi,
I am 33 Years old, 7 months back I was masturbating and it seems I pressed too hard on my penis, the day after I felt severe pain on flaccid, I visited a urologist who diagnosed me initially with peyronies disases, and injected me with steroid injection (Solu Medrol 1g), which did nothing with pain. I have done 4 Ultrasounds during the last 7 months and all shows normal. Today I visited the urologist again, and he said there is no fibrosis, it is maybe the dorsal nerve.
My sister (diagnosed with RRMS) had a relapse 3 weeks ago, so she went to the hospital, where she get solu medrol treatment. (3 days 1000 mg/day etc. etc.) Now she take 32 mg/day.
Her sympthoms are dissappeared, but after she left the hospital, she experienced some problems, like knee pain, spinal pain, she feel her legs overburdened, and she complained yesterday, when she washed her hands in hot water she feels some tinglings.
i had a 3-day solu-medrol infusion last week after a c-spine MRI revealed possible myelitis. i have had all the yucky side effects from the steroids which are subsiding--thank heavens--but instead of feeling better, it seems as though my other symptoms are getting worse--buzzing, achey joints, etc.
is this typical? is it the case where things will get worse before they get better?
A week later I had double vision which prompted my first round of Solu-Medrol. The drug did seem to help, and I saw a steady improvement until the beginning of April, where I estimate I was about 95% of normal. Only if I looked to the far left I saw double. Well, I began a new relapse mid April (other sensory symptoms) which I was given another round of Solu-Medrol in the beginning of May.
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.
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".
