solumedrol anaphylaxis

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.

I lived in a small basement apartment while in school for almost 2 years, the basement leaked everyday nand flooded muliple times. 6mths after living there I went into Anaphylaxis for the first time after eating salmon sushi, then continued to have massive reations to practically everything I ate for the next almost year.Almost 3 years later I live off just a hand full of things I know I can eat.

if your looking to loose weight, lol. It seems there are a lot of people who have anaphylaxis, but actually have never had a severe reaction. I've read its rare to go into anaphylactic shock. I always wanted to be rare......but this is extreme. I finally have my allergist appointment on Wednesday. I know he wants me to bring in a clam with me to test me with it. I don't believe I am going to allow him to test my skin with it, but maybe allow him to take blood and test that.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.....

Everything I read about anaphylaxis says that the blood pressure drops, but mine always goes up. Is this normal? What should I do? The only medication I took both times was Benadryl. I do have a couple of other medical problems - low thyroid (on meds) and adrenal fatigue. (The first time I had an attack like this I was not diagnosed as hypothyroid yet, and was not on meds for it.) Otherwise, healthy. Thanks for the info.

My 17 yr old son who is an athlete is being diagnosed with exercise anaphylaxis. An athlete? He has had 2 major episodes while working out. The first resulted in a trip to the ER and overnight at the hospital. The most recent was he was workingt out,broke out in a rash,chest tight, throat feels clogged, turns pale and neck swells....he actually looks llike he has no neck. Later that night in the hospital.....while laying there about 5 hours later same thing.

Does anyone else suffer from unidentified anaphylaxis? if you do do you struggel emotionally as well? what is it like for you? what symptoms do you get? how many reactions have you suffered from?

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.

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?

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.

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...

If hives with stomach cramps, diarrhoea and fast heart rate presented but all vital signs were normal and doctors said it wasn't anaphylaxis, what caused the fast heart rate? Could it be anxiety caused by the initial mild allergic reaction?

I desperately need help. about one year ago I went into anaphylaxis for an unknown allergen. It have been tested for pollen, latex, peanuts, some food. It keep happening and I cant find the common denominator. I thought it was seasonal until 3 hours ago when my throat suddenly got sore and my eyes started swelling. I took benadryl and symptoms appeared to have subsided. Anybody have any ideas? The doctors cant seem to locate an allergy.

Actually a myriad of many above .. hives, rash, SOB (stridor), and Anaphylaxis. Each occurence has actually been different for my daughter so one never knows what to expect and must treat it with the utmost of respect.

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.

I started rebif and solumedrol at the same time in July, but call your doctor.. Are call the MS lifelines??

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?

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.

Please please help me... I'm 20 years old female and I think I have anxiety and definitely phobia... Let's get to the point I never had a food allergy before but since I read you can develop allergy at any age I freaked out Everytime I eat nuts or fruits or foods that's considered dangerous for allergies I panic for the next 30 minutes because I'm scared I will get anaphylaxis and I will die..
