How do you handle high appetite?
So I'm over 6 month post transplant, and as a part of my 3-component immunosuppression therapy I'm taking methylprednisolone (
Medrol
by Pfizer), 6mg. And my appetite is so unusually high! I'm almost always hungry.

Facial numbness/tingling and congestion
I have been taking
medrol
(methyprednisolone) and Tocilizumab and just decreased to 12 mg
medrol
, which is the equivalent of 15 mg. prednisone.

Steroid side effects?
After my GCA diagnosis I am on 40 mg
Medrol
at the moment. The classic GCA symptoms like headache, jaw pain, scalp tenderness 99% gone. Also my dry cough is totally stopped. But.. I have other weird and frustrating symptoms.

Estradiol, QoL and inflammation
After Zytiga and
Medrol
were added. PSA declined to .40 in February 2024. While I have been happy with recent treatment, the meds brought on joint and muscle pain and aggravated mobility issues (previous back surgery, three collapsed vertebrae).

Bruising on legs
I have been on
medrol
now for 8 years. I’m down to 3mg. I have experienced easy bruising on my legs they have lead to severe wounds. I now wear compression socks and padded protection on my lower legs. My question is, do the dark spots left over from the bruising ever go away?

bombing a flare
That was followed by a
Medrol
pack for the next week and, with exercise, I got over the sciatica. Of course, we know about sciatica but not about PMR, and they are so very different in kind and effect.

Flushing and menthol sensations
I stopped using any steroids (low dose prednisone and depo
medrol
knee injections), B3, alpha lipoic acid and quercerin. Allergist did a tryptase test (normal) and has ordered another within 12 hours of next reaction (I'm hoping it never comes) She also ordered epi pen.

Fell today. Flare or injury?
Also may have hurt RIGHT shoulder and upper arm which had already been symptomatic (and I raised
medrol
dose 5 mgs—didn’t help but doc doesn’t want me to add more.) It hurts to move it certain ways more than before and Ibus didn’t help.

I am back! In need of your excellent advice...
After successfully reducing to zero pred last autumn, the symptoms began to reappear. After advice about how to deal with a flare I increased the dose (to 15mg), but that didn't seem to help. Then I was given a depo-medrone injection, with the advice that it would last a couple of months and hopefully

Ocrevus Infusion - First Time
First, they will insert the IV and give you Benadryl (which will make you sleepy so take advantage, get comfy, and nap), aspirin, and
medrol
(steroid). Once you finish the steroid bag, they will hang the Ocrevus bag for your infusion.

RILP?
I've had one round of IV
Medrol
1gm x 3 days with a result of minor improvement of symptoms. I'm currently waiting to see a neurologist to confirm this diagnosis.

I suffer from Anxiety/Panic attacks
I'm also almost finished with the
medrol
pack, which isn't doing anything to help the tightness in my ears.
