Avatar m tn 002 for oMP and p = 0.001 for IV MP) with a “non-inferiority effect” between the 2 routes of administration at week 1. Both groups showed an improvement of EDSS over time (p < 0.001) without between-group difference at week 4. Both treatments were well-tolerated and adverse events were minimal and occurred similarly in the 2 treatment arms.
Avatar f tn Searching, I found you and am excited that there is a group that may actually be able to answer some of my questions. The first thing he wants to do is put me on solumedrol for 5 days, I am not currently in a flair. Any reason I should put myself through that if I am not currently having symptoms?
Avatar f tn I know steroids can make you susceptible to infections, but has anyone developed a UTI on solumedrol? I had the unmistakable first inklings of one a bit ago. I rushed out for cranberry juice and a blueberry smoothie (blueberries are supposed to have the same effect as cranberries, and it's a good excuse for a fruit smoothie!!) and I'm hoping I can keep it at bay this way, but I guess I'll know in a few hours. These things tend to come on fast for me.
1172359 tn?1310667693 I am scheduled Monday to do an IV for three days of Solumedrol. Has anyone else done that and if so, what is your opinion. I am alittle nervous about it.

97654 tn?1214348650 ve had a horrible experience with Solumedrol as well.....Back in March I had extreme leg and groin numbness and went on IV Solumedrol for 3 days....I had a nasty reaction to it, but it DID take away the numbness and vision problems almost immediately....Well, within 48 hours anyway..... In May the left side of my head and face went numb and because I was visiting the MS Clinic at that time, I declined the Solumedrol treatment.....That numbness didn't go away for 20 days.....
Avatar m tn both mucosal and parenteral, and (3) conducted as a phase III clinical trial in same run in which a different arm received an established and commercially-available antiviral drug.

97654 tn?1214348650 At one point this was happening about 15 times per day. I took a round of Solumedrol (3 days) and began taking 300 mg of Lyrica per day. It now happens 4 or 5 times per week. My doctor prescribed another round of Solumedrol which is scheduled for next week (30 days from the first one). I am trying to decide whether I want to do the 2nd round of Solumedrol. It made me feel horrible and was a miserable 4 or 5 days.
Avatar f tn I had a 4 day Solumedrol drip and then step down pack in February and it made me worse. All my muscles tightened up and I have more pain than I did before. Call it a major fibromyalgia attack. Even now in May, I am still as stiff and woozy as i was after the glucocorticoid therapy. Sigh. Did nothing for me that I can tell. I did sweat a lot during the treatment so maybe i lost a few toxins?
Avatar f tn t help, so I had the 3 day mega dose IV solumedrol. I did not do the tapering off pills, because I was having a reaction to the medicine. Since the end of February my ankles are swollen everyday, all day. I asked my neurologist, and she said it is a side effect of the solumedrol. Any one else experience this.....swollen ankles for so long? When will they return to normal? Help please. Thank you.
Avatar f tn 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...
Avatar f tn I still am thinking Solumedrol is affecting my menses. Had some pretty extensive tests last month, and (gyn) docs are taking a wait and see approach. I had a pelvic ultrasound and then a sono-hysterogram which showed several polyps (uterine and cervical) but not enough to cause any action yet.
Avatar n tn All this new formulation does is prevent illicit routes of administration such as insuffulation or injection but does nothing to deter people from swallowing handfuls of said pills. This kind of arms race has done little in the past except to encourage resourceful addicts to develop their own methods to counter those of the Pharmaceutical Companies.Pharmco's developing new formulations, in an effort,to kerb abuse is not a new idea and has historically shown little success.
195469 tn?1388322888 These are the same problems I have with Solumedrol. Diabetics have a hard time with Solumedrol and it seems that insulin or diabetic pills, cannot work hard enough to get high blood sugar levels down. Here where we live in Virginia, they will not do a treatment, if your blood sugar level is about 200. This is a good drug, but very hard on someone that is prone to high blood pressure and high blood sugar.
Avatar f tn I started rebif and solumedrol at the same time in July, but call your doctor.. Are call the MS lifelines??
1740498 tn?1328962585 I had my first course of solumedrol Friday-Tuesday. Last night (Thursday night) I began needing to urinate every 30-60 minutes. Not like tons and tons. But also not my bladder fooling me. And it continues today! I can't get a hold of my @$&#%& neurologist. So of course my question is whether this happens with steroids. Anybody?
Avatar n tn t used it for MS patients for quite a while because most or all tolerate the solumedrol fairly well. Wish me luck. If insurance accepts it I will start the end of this month. I'd love any feed back you guys may have on it...don't know what to expect.
Avatar f tn This concern has been posted awhile back, but wanted to reintroduce it. I had a solumedrol treatment about 4 weeks ago. About 2 weeks later i got chills and my hands started to itch uncontrollably followed later by hives in random places (no pattern to where they were) but mainly arms, stomach, and scalp. Called my neurologist, heard back from his nurse who said there was no way it was related to solumedrol.
Avatar n tn 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...
