solu medrol oral

Debs, It sounds like you mights as well take the Medrol - try it his way and then if it doesn't work out, you can go back and as for the solu-medrol. I'm guessing it is very close- just the "solu" means it is a liquid form (soluble) - again that's just my guess. Sorry you have to tough it out and take the meds - we all are taking stuff we would rather not ingest but do so because we're adults and understand the alternative. :-) Let us know how it goes...

i had on hand a solu-medrol had my boyfriend give me inj 1.5cc Im glute but he gave it too me about 1 inch to the left and now i have swelling at the site about the size of a quarter i am a nursing student and try to walk him through it and made sure he aspirated will i be ok???

For those of you who have had to get the solu-medrol treatment IV for 5 days, how did this affect you and your body? It has been a couple weeks since I stopped the out-patient treatment for the IV. I am still awake a lot of the time when I should be sleeping. I got about 2 hours of sleep last night, and today, I lay down to rest and I can't still.

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" ?

Anyone have any ideas how to cope with the solu-medrol headaches? I slept about 3 1/2 hours, nurse is coming back in 2 1/2 for round 2 of the infusion, so have a couple of more days with the headaches.

Went to neuro-optho who placed me on three days of solu-medrol (IV) and three weeks of oral steroids (3x day). A year later and still no change in optic neuritis. However, I wanted to know why. Got answer through MS neuro who followed through on tests and uncovered MS. Second symptom showed up two weeks prior to the anniversary of the optic neuritis, pins and needles in feet. Now on Neurotin to help with parathesia. Slows me down a little but it's helping.

I have a quick question for you all... My neurologist says he doesn't want to give me Solu-Medrol for this "flare" because he said it would affect the MRI results as well as the LP if we do it fairly soon. Is what he told me true or is he just making me suffer for no reason? I don't know any better and thought who best to ask than you guys. Thanks so much.

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?

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.

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.

My question is whether this feeling is a side effect of Solu-medrol or an MS symptom that his not being relieved by the Solu-medrol? I would be grateful for any insight!

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.

How often do people have solu-medrol infusions? I am on my first round and it has helped. How about these new trial drugs that have proven to be effective - the oral ones?

I started my exacerbation in April of this year and immediately got on Solu-Medrol. I took the Solu-Medrol for 6 days at maximum dosage and tapered off with Prednisone. While my Optic Neuritis went away after only a couple of weeks or so, I soon had a Trigeminal Neuralgia attack. This only happened once, thank God, but a few days later, I began to experience difficulty walking. I still have difficulty walking, some days good, some days really bad, but the other symptoms have vanished.

I finished my IV Solu-Medrol on 9/19, and now only a little over 2 weeks later, my eye is hurting again. Could I already be relapsing? My vision is still o-kay, but the pain is definitely back.

T CARE FOR THE STEROIDS.THEY ARE ORAL AND WORSE THAN SOLU-MEDROL,BUT WHEN THE DOC STATED HE WAS GONNA SHOCK MY SYSTEM,HE SUCCEEDED.IT'S A MED IN A TRIAL PERIOD FOR RHUMATOID ARTHRITIS AND ADHESIVE ARACHNOIDITS.YOU TAKE THEM FOR 6 DAYS,6000MGS DAY1 5000 MGS DAY 2,,4000 MGS DAY 3, 3000MGS DAY 4,2000 MGS DAY 2 AND A 1000MGS THE LAST DAY AND OH, DO THEY MAKE ME MEANER THAN A JUNK YARD DOG,THE KIDS AND THE DOG ARE HIDING FROM ME(LOL).

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 am on day 4 without solu-medrol, but still have the increased appetite..Shouldn't this be going away soon? It's driving me nuts as I worked so hard to lose 48 pounds and sure don't want the solu to blow it. I'm not doing this again. The side effects were awful and the results have not been worth it at all.

I was diagnosed in 2000 with MS, and for years I have been getting IV Solu-medrol treatments every other month, for three days. Is it possible this affects my menstrual cycle? Can Solu-medrol cause not building up the endometrium? Don't worry, I have had all tests: blood, bone density, ultrasound, pregnancy, and I am very healthy: un-pregnant, taking birth control, and so on. I "only" have MS. My period doesn't happen and I am way too young for menopause.

I then have to sit for approximately 20 minutes and I can than walk normally again. Last week I went for an infusion of Solu-Medrol. I had one infusion for 3 days at 3 hrs. each. I feel pretty good afterwards and am not limping much at all anymore. My question is regarding side effects of Solu-Medrol. I realize that everyone is different but is there an average time frame for side effects? Today is the 3rd day AFTER the infusions were completed.

I found out from the MS nurse that the rash I have all over my face, neck, and back is a side effect of my IV Solu-Medrol treatment and the taper dose of prednisone and is not a rash at all, but is acne. I thought the rash was from my sun exposure while in Mexico earlier this week and that the steroids were probably the culprit. So that was half right. But the nurse said it was acne yet it feels more like a rash to me.
