She told me that she had taken the steroid 3 different times for life or death situations and saved her life every time but left her with this crazy side effects. She told me every time she took it, the side effects left her within 32 days exactly but for me it didn't go away for months, and I sometimes still feel weird like the side effects but my aunt said this could just be stress or my mind playing tricks but either way I don't like it.
I'm surprised you're as able to keep up with everyone as well as you do! Anyway, I'm not sure if I have said or not. :-) I can't remember much these days.
I saw the MS specialist a few weeks ago and I had noticable neurological signs, she said pertaining to my cerebellum, pons, and c-spine. I won't bother repeating all of them here, but she did ask if I wanted to try a dose of iv steroids at that time.
I just finished my first go at IV solu-medrol two weekend ago. I had similar, what the home nurse called "side effects" immediately beginning treatment similar to your sisters (joint pain, mainly). This, and many more "tolerable" side effects are normal. So I wouldn't be alarmed.
I was found to have a few more severe, negative side effects throughout the dosing such as steroid induced psychosis and trouble breathing.
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...
I have been DX with MS for 4 years now. I am not on any DMD therapy and choose NOT to be. I do not like taking any drugs that aren't absolutely necessary and the harmful side effects of the DMDs made my decision. HOWEVER, I am in a flare (or progression) for the past 2 to 3 months now with may one or two days I felt "nearly normal". I'm to the point of thinking I need relapse treatment. I have Type 2 diabetes as well so steroids can be very bad for that!
If you are just blah and a little scared because you have never felt this way then maybe it is enough to know that lots of us suffer yucky side effects from the Solumedrol and they do pass. Drink tons of water to help it get through your system faster.
Spoil yourself with a soak in the tub or something you like but don't do often because you deserve it!
Wow, didn't need to get slammed for providing feedback on a drug that has so far proved its usefullness to me in 3 days. I spoke with a number of people who have used both Acthar and SoluMedrol (I've never tried IVSM), and most will never use SoluMedrol again, too many side effects that actually happen vs. few if any on Acthar. This includes one woman who went from wheelchair to walking in 5 days.
I had one of two treatment options IV solumedrol again or I could try oral prednisone, this is the option I choose for now, because I had many side effects from the solumedrol. I had to go on insulin, it made my gallbladder go bad and I had to have it removed, I also developed hospital acquired pneumonia from my immune system not working, and I also had lots of problems sleeping. Also this time I have heaviness in my legs with muscle twitching.

The thirst and increased water consumption (and increased urination that follow) are frequent side effects with steroid therapy even if the body can maintain a fairly level blood glucose level. You just have to be careful that the kidneys can handle the extra load and the body doesn't deplete itself of electrolytes.
ve only had one relapse, a year ago which resulted in my MS diagnosis, but I was hospitalized for the 5-day IV Solumedrol. It was 4 x per day -- every 6 hrs.
The reason for the hospital stay was the need for round-the-clock infusions (no infusion center available at all hours), PLUS Solumedrol can raise blood sugar to dangerous levels, so I had blood sugar tested every 4 or 6 hrs -- got up to 145 once, and 130 twice (I'm not diabetic). I was given insulin shots then.
