solumedrol good

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.

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?

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.....

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...

Good neuro you have there to not chalk all up to MS. When did you start the Copax? All these DMDs do take time to make a difference. Hope this leaves you quickly. What are you experiencing w/this flare?

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 just finished my first SoluMedrol IV bag. The lights are so bright! Has anyone else experienced this?

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...

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 just finished 3 days of IV Solumedrol.. I feel horrible, swollen painful lymph nodes in clavical, cerevical and back of neck, my ears hurt ...Has anyone ever had this after solumedrol? I have done solumedrol before but do not recall ever feeling this poorly.

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?

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.

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.

HAVE PAIN IN MY RIGHT EYE HURTS FEELS LIKE IT IS THE EYEBALL HURTING KEP LOOKING IN THE MIRROR EXPECTING TO SEE SOMETHING WRONG BUT IT IS NOT RED OR SWOLLEN HURTS TO MOVE IT.

So today is 2nd day of solumedrol, plus about 3 other IV meds, for migranes and nausea. Tomorrow is my last day, and it will b 6 hours. As I am in the middle of the infusion, my PCP calls, and tells me my chest xray from yesterday shows pnemonia. Ok, so solumedrol with pnemonia.. I am no doc, but pretty sure that is not a good mix. I started with this chest infection about 5 days ago. Always something. I need to sleep, that might help.

I see a lot of people going on solu-medrol lately, some multiple courses within a short period of time. This really concerns me, especially in regards to the potential serious side effects - some which I have experienced personally. My neurologist is very conservative about prescribing solu-medrol He's explained to me that he doesn't give steroids for sensory symptoms like tingling or feeling numb unless it is a new symptom. He orders an MRI to see if there is any change.

my first time on Solumedrol and slept all day and all night. Once home, did the same thing for 2 weeks. Occasional nausea abut 3-4 times a week, using dissolvable Zofran which works almost instantly and is great. At April appt, doc said I was right where he expected, (labs I guess) and am due to see him again in September, he said I would feel much better by then. Next Lemtrada will be in February 2017 for 3 days and NO Solumedrol, am going back to Decadron.

just last week I started having ridiculous trouble with my right legs/hips/knees and am walking with am limp and wanting to drag that leg..am STARTING DAY 3 of solumedrol and feeling slightly improved but the pain/difficulty walking has moved from hip to knee to ankle on the right side. my question is..will this go away or will it remain? does it sound like spacticity? Do I need to see an orthopedist? PT? meds? talk with the neuro?? any advice??

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

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.

I had my first dose of solumedrol this morning. For a while I've had some weird tremors (with muscle contraction primarily, but also visible when I hold my hands out, to type or something). I know some fine tremor is normal, but these were more than usual. Now they're much more pronounced today. Is this a normal side effect? I don't feel particularly jittery or wired, but I know it can affect people differently.

Solumedrol can be an excellent way to calm symptoms down if you are being treated due to MS flair-ups. When I had my IV Solmedrol treatment, I was not able to sleep for days I was wired) and the doctor's gave me a weeks' worth of sleeping pills. The Medrol caused havoc with my blood pressure and my blood sugar.

I just finished a course of 5 days of IV solumedrol for my MS. I am very concerned about the severe depression I am experiencing. Any information?
