solumedrol to treat

For the first few days my pain, tingling, numbless and burning went away. They are now back and more severe than prior to the Solumedrol regime. Is this normal? I actually believe I was on the verge of a flare up prior to starting the Solumedrol and believe I am now in a full blown flare up. I am seeing my Neuro tomorrow and I'm wondering if he will suggest another round of the drug.

Hi Everyone, Like a copper penny, I keep turning up. I haven't been on in a while because I had an exacerbation from the flu shot. Then, Dec. 5 I started IV soluMedrol at home. Nurse came every day and infused me for 3 days, then a nurse followed up with my sugars, etc. for another 4 days. It was great..only way to do it. Ah, but then it gets even better. On Christmas Eve, my family came over and my grandson either had a cold or the flu..By the next night I was sick..

I have to admit I am one who has had waaayyyy too much solumedrol. I am about to start my 4th treatment in 13 months. This is my second year with MS and I have gone downhill tremendously over the 18 months that I have had obvious MS problems. My first attack my right arm went competely numb and spastic and pretty much paralyzed for about 6 weeks. It got better and I have little residual issues like constant tingling in my hand, insane itching periodically on my finger tip.

So here I am feeling quite disappointed because he said no to steroids. On one hand I realize that they only treat symptoms and should probably be avoided at all costs if possible and that he is probably being a good neuro by not jumping on the steroid bandwaggon. On the other hand, is he avoiding giving me steroids because they should be used judicially? Am I feeling bad, because I am too neurotic and conflicted? I am not looking for anyone to confirm this or not.

My neuro is a general neuro and basically told me to research the Dmds available and to let him know what I would like to try. 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.

About 3 days after I completed treatment I began to get one. The infusions make you more subseptable to opportune bacteria. Go pee in a cup and find out.

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?

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.

In the limbs, it is due to lesions on the spinal cord. It is one of the most difficult MS symptoms to treat. Tricyclic antidepressants and anti-convulsant medications offer some relief but I don't know of anyone with this symptom (me included) who have found total relief from it.

I am still wheezing several months later. what could have caused this and what can I do to treat it? the doctor seems to say it is due to vocal chord problems. I noticed on 40-50mg of prednisone a day my FVC increased from 70 to 80. thanks so much!

My eye exam in on Friday. Normally Imove the eye exam if I have solumedrol within a few weeks of it; but my Opthomologit wants to see the bruise"halo" that I get for the steroids. I may have to go back for the retna inspection and suredly for the Rx of lenses, but she needs to see what the steroids do. I have surgery scheduled for the 2nd of May. My neuro wanted to treat the flair now so that I would be in better shape before the surgery. I hope it works.

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 guess my question is whether the 2nd round would be beneficial at this point or if the lingering effects are something I am going to have to deal with from now on. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

Sweetheart, I will do a search now and see if I can find it for you. I think it's called the "History of a MS Flair-up," or something like that. I will do a search now honey. Hang on... I'm glad that I can be of some help. Do you think you are going through a flair-up of symptoms right now? What can I do to help? Will get back to you with that "article.," as soon as I find it.

I have TN, but it did not start until after my solumedrol. The steroids made me fee much worse at first, but then I began to have symptom improvement rapidly after the 5th day post iv solumedrol.

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.

The ON is going to resolve to the point it will get to, whether you do treatment or not. It is just the Solumedrol will get you to that point sooner. I had Steroids last month - the first day was 1 gram solumedrol by IV - it took about 90 minutes in the infusion center at the neuro's clinic. Then the next two days I finished up with oral - it was compounded at a local pharmacy so I only had to take one capsule instead of 25 prednisone tablets each day.

s experience with Acthar Gel, in place of IV Solumedrol, to treat an exacerbation, and got no responses from anyone who has tried it. Lately I've been having issues walking towards the end of the day, especially if I've been working all day. I will usually begin to limp to compensate for a jelly-like leg. Neuro thought that maybe this was from a flare and suggested we try Acthar. Well, after 3 days of injections, and very LONG days at work, I have to say I love this stuff!

ll channel Quix here and say what she has repeated to me over and over - if solumedrol cured MS or prevented symptoms, it would be a standard treatment for all of us. It doesn't work that way. The sm only helps to ease the effects of the sxs but does not stop them. With ON, you can wait it out or take the solu - you will still end up with the same end results. It just takes longer on your own without the solumedrol. I hope that makes sense and I did my mentor Quix proud!

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.

I had solumedrol for the first time three weeks ago. After the first two days, I started feeling really shaky. That was the worst. I also started to feel queasy. I think it was from my lack of sleep. I did not get a taper dose. Once that wore off I did feel better. I think there is residual disability from this last flare. My legs aren't working as well and I still get tired easily. Starting copaxone hopefully next week. Good lick.

I was just taken off Tysabri in July, I was on that for almost 5 years. I now have to go on Gylena in January, but before I start the new drug...I have to do 6 months of iv steroids. 3 days every month with NO taper! I have just finished my second round...and I'm ready to through in the towel. The side affects of the steroids are at this point almost not worth doing. They are trying to prevent a relapse since I am not on any MS therapy. Anyone else going through anything similar?

I have monthly infusions of the solumedrol and i always have the day of peeing. It is annoying but I usually feel better. I hope that is all that it is. I hope you feel better soon.
