solumedrol pulsing

It sounds like you are talking about optic neuritis (ON). I had an episode of this a few weeks ago. Mine came on over a matter of hours, first it felt like I had dust in my left eye, then I noticed my vision was filmy in that eye, and by the middle of the night it felt like a knofe jabbing my eyeball whenever I would move my eye. I was treated at emerg with morphine and toradol (didn't really help, just made me stoned) then a 5-day course of IV steroids (Solumedrol).

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 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 keep getting these weird electric shock feelings in my head that seem to spread to my hands and feet and I can actually feel them pulsing for a few seconds. I have been very lightheaded, tingling, my lower legs feel heavy and weak at times. I am a RN and went to the ER last week because it was so bad. The CT was normal and my labs were great. the ER dc. states it mimicked MS (My docter the next day said the same thing) and now I will going to UF neurology for a consultation, MRI, ect.

At 38 seconds i inhale (which causes the single large pulse). Afterwards you can clearly see, a continuous pulsing. The pulsing is exactly in tune with my heart beat. Pressing my hands above my belly button, i can feel my aorta pulsing, but I have no idea if it is pulsing "normally" or abnormally. The pulsing does push my fingers back slightly, but i do not know if I am pushing hard enough for this to be diagnostic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?

s normal and unless the pulsing starts to get progressively stronger and are at regular intervals then call your dr. I would still inform your doctor that you are feeling Braxton Hicks to keep them up to speed with what's going on :-) good luck!!

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...

I can feel him kick all the time but I can also feel this pulsing all the time too I can tell the difference between them because the pulsing never goes away my mum has just put her hand on my belly because he was kicking but she mistake the pulsing for kicks... what is this pulsing can u feel it too??

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'm 15 and for the past few months i keep feeling a pulsing/tingling sensation all over my body - i don't know if it's pulsing or tingling or tremors or what. it has happened on my upper lip, my nose, my lower back, my upper back and just a few minutes ago i felt it on my toes. it happens even when that body part isn't in contact with anything? like i'm lying down with my leg in the air and i felt the pulsing.

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.

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.

then 3 years back i become hypertensive and have palpitaion ..... now since last one year I have a pulsing sensation that I can feel throughout my body. It is in rhythm with my heartbeat and the heartbeat is always a steady, normal beat. The pulsing sensation can be felt at all times (standing, sitting, laying down) but is more predominant laying down and especially on the areas where there is pressure upon the body.

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 am sorry to hear about your medical problems. Head pulsing could also be due to a myoclonus secondary to ear infection. Another reason for head pulsing is peripheral neuropathy (diabetes, thyroid problems, lupus etc) or pinched nerve in neck (MRI or nerve conduction studies or EMGs would be diagnostic). It can also be a carotid artery pulsing with high blood pressure. Another possibility is severe sleep deprivation. Please consult your doctor regarding this as soon as you can. Take care!

Hi everyone? Ive been a pulsing sensation behind my left eardrum for about 1mnth. I have bells palsy on the left side of my face (have had it for 7 wks, recovery abt 50%) Recently the pulsing has an additional clicking sound on the eardrum,it feels like theres pressure from where the pulsing similar to ear popping. There's also ringing in the ear. Does BP cause tinnitus? Or is it caused by something separate? I'm just a bit worried because it's not a symptom listed for BP.

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?

i have a PICC line as I have been going through a 2 mnth relapse with my MS and I finally gave in and went to the hospital....of course it is solumedrol pumping through it but its way different than when I had an IV port last year...question though; I feel so dizzy and have feelings l want to pass out at times even though I don't pass out. is it because of the PICC with solumedrol that is giving me a different experience?

Sheesh, this is 2nd exacerbation within 6 months...more solumedrol in 2 weeks.
