solumedrol im injection

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

First of all I was surprised I thought that I would be at my relative healthiest during this time, but obviously I was wrong, Now they want me to go on a three day run of iv solumedrol treatments and I am wondering if anyone has an experience or knowledge of such issues.

Hi all, I have an injection of Botox scheduled for later this week. I definately started a relapse within the last 3 days. I don't know if I should call my neuro now or wait until after the injection. He is a litle steroid crazy and I don't know that I should mix solumedrol and Botox too close together. Thig is, the armpit sweaing and allergy to antiperspirants is a life long problem and the insurance finally agreed to apy for it. They have already shiped the med to my doctor.

In terms of side effects, I have had some site reactions (post injection pain/sting; mild redness; swelling/lump at injection site) but no other problems thus far. Copaxone is reported to be about the same effectiveness as the interferons, for reducing relapses. It is not yet clear whether it is effective in delaying disease progression and disability.

one week later burning sensation in neck left side of body and face asleep for the last 2 days. and I have been so tired didn even light my fireworks and im a pyro. embarrassed to say urgency in the bathroom area also. s few other funny things going on. and i l have been a little slow cant understand someone unless i see their mouth move lip reading. all the doctor said was it was diabetic neurotherapy never felt this way please help.

They expect it to be high but not too high. Just procautionary and standard. I do not have diabetis but got solumedrol injection and orals for pneumonia this week. I had a glucose drawn and have to return in 2 weeks to have another draw. I have seen it cause problems in people with diabetis and it has needed treatment. I hope you feel better very soon! May all the sick bugs be vanished! Ug! Got everyone else better and it hit me the worst! Maybe I should get some garlic!!

I am very nervous though about the infusion therapy. I know when they have given me a steriod injection for injuries in the past I have had really bad pain from them and very little relief. I am told this is totally different than the type they inject for injuries but I still could use some reinforcement before I totally agree to start this on Monday. Any advice would be great. I do hope everyone is well! I will try to check in more often.

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.

ve been on Rebif since about October and my pain shortly after my injection and the following day is VERY substantial. I can't bear to be touched because my skin feels like it's been burned (upper arms, upper legs, upper chest and back) and my spinal pain is just beyond the level of holy ow! Even when I'm not taking the Rebif I have those pains but not quite as bad. My doctor is going to be switching me to Copaxone soon in the hopes that my pains won't be as severe.

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.....

IVSM (IV solumedrol) and Copaxone work in different ways. Steroids suppress the immune system. Copaxone is an immunomodulator - it changes a specific part of the way your immune system works to help decrease MS relapses without increasing vulnerability to other infections or disease. You should be fine starting the Copaxone while still on IVSM. For most people, Copaxone actually has very few side effects.

t stop that abrupty, Im taking Solumedrol 125 mg IV for 5 days and they stop me just like that, its that safe because I can have very severe withdralls :S

She worked abroad, but she experience to have flare, so came back, and met her neuro. He suggest to take solumedrol, which may help to recover. After the third day, she experienced her balance is better ('nose and index finger test') and her double vision is a little better. She said, she dont tell me, about her 'swallowing experiences' maybe now it is better. What you experienced? - side effect of solu medrol?

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...

He put me a 30 day steroid injection which put me into steroid phycosis. Along w valium vicodin. I am an addict but was not honest w him..my first mistake!! Then we tried plaquanil. Im alergic to it. I went to detox and then i let him know that i have beem in NA FOR 10 yrs I canceled all my refills n jumped up my meeting attendance. After being home for a wk.

It IS expensive. It costs me $4000 a month and I have to go to the hospital to get the injection. I also have all the rare side effects to the medication.....severe ear pain, insomnia, exhaustion, irritability.....I never react the same each time. Xolair does work for me...no allergy medication or inhalers are needed while on the injection (which is great since I am allergic to Zyrtec....it gives me sever depression so I am afraid to take anything) and it has 'cured' me of COPD.

A few minutes after the injection that hand and arm started getting red blotches and itching...like hives. I thought of going back but I didn't want to be shunted to the ER for Benedryl so I just waited to see what happens. The hives dissipated within a half hour. I've never had a reaction like this, in fact I never have any reactions to cortisone. I'm scared because I have to go back in 2 weeks.

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.
