Depo-Medrone
So I had 120mg of
Depo
-
Medrone
injected. But... after ten days the symptoms are back. I had never heard of D-M as an alternative to Pred. Seemed like a good option, but now I am not so sure. What would you advise as to the way forward? Another dose of D-M, or back on the Pred?

I can barely eat and have lost 3/4 stone so am down to 7 stone ☹️ Is it possible I had too higher dose and my immune

long awaited rheumy appointment
Very very long story shorter…he re-diagnosed my fibromyalgia (5th consultant in 11 years to do so), said he couldn’t see anything inflammatory, but the steroids could be masking it all, especially as I had a
depo
medrone
injection 3 weeks ago. He confirmed hypermobility, too!

Looking for answers
I got sick over 3 months ago and was prescribed a ZPack and a Medrol Pack. Three days into the treatment, I began experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, and insomnia. I continued the treatment and was told that my side effects would go away within 7-10 days after taking the last dose of the Medrol pack

Can anyone who has experienced it please explain the difference between 'withdrawal pain' and return of symptoms when reducing Pred dose?
My CRP is slightly elevated, around 18, but it has been below 8 when inflammation was under control with

injections a few years ago now and when I had a GCA scare and took 40mg Pred.

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. Constant tinnitus, ear pressure, tingling feeling in both of my feet and sole
