solumedrol smoothie

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 just had a mango pineapple smoothie & i have to say it was GREAT...since the only thing i've been drinking is water &/or milk. it made me happy.

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 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.....

Does anyone know the do's and dont's with smoothie king?? I am almost 10 weeks and don't want to consume anything that will be bad. Thank you!!

I find it so odd and kind of disgusting but I actually would do it lol I saw a lady on tv put hers in a smoothie and drink it! Has any already mommies done this?

I just gained a little weight in the first day of doing my green smoothie diet is that normal?

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.

OK this is probably a silly question.. But I know I was told to avoid ice cream from fast food places like McDonald's and Sonic because the machines are not very clean and could have harmful bacteria, but what about getting a fruit smoothie?? Going to the mall tomorrow and I'm craving a smoothie from the smoothie shop there! But just curious if it's the same rules as ice cream with it coming from a machine? Any advice is appreciated!

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...

Two weeks ago, I purchased a fruit smoothie from a local NYC food cart. I ordered a strawberry mango smoothie and as the man was putting the strawberry in the blender, they looked really strange. Is there anyway he could have contaminated the strawberry in my smoothie with HIV? I am really scared as I have been sick for the last few days and have even lost my voice. Can I get HIV?

My doctor said in a smoothie it's alright. I'm addicted to smoothie king. I blame my mom.

when ny doctor was doing the doppler she is so used to taking it on ny stomach that she was a lil confused at first them found him but he was all the way down by ny downstairs lol if any ladies are having iron issues and dont want to take iron meds bc mine make me sick I get a kale and spinanch smoothie its soo yummy so im having thoses like twice a week and then I take my other viatmins...but ya any day or week now..im thinking next week or the week after...

t have time to make a healthy breakfast so I whip up a smoothie and get on my way. What can I put in my smoothie, like protein or something that will help me get my morning nutrition. Before pregnancy I didn't care, but I am 13 weeks and I want to make sure I'm doing this right. All the help is appreciated!

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.

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.
