Experiences with

Medrol

Actualy I'm under Medrol ( corticoïdes 48g) and Methotrexate. I am unable to get up from the floor, turn around in bed, can get out off the bath, lift my legs more than 5 cm from the floor , etc.

I was given cortisone shot into knee and depo medrol into bum cheek last week.

I've been on Medrol since mid-December -Had successfully reduced from 48 mg to 4 mg and was doing well. Reduced from 4 mg to 3.5 mg and have had extreme fatigue, weakness, lightheaded, brain fog, nausea. No signs of PMR flare. Went back to 4 for a couple days, then 6 and still a mess.

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.

I am a Behcet's on Azothioprine 50 mg twice a day, Cochicine 0.5 mg twice a day and taking Medrol 2mg/4 mg per day, since one year.Earlier I used to have little tender point on abdomen here and there with dimly visible bruises, which used to heal in 10-15 days.

Hi everyone, Just wondered if anyone has had a chronic reaction to a steroid shot? I am only tiny and was given 120mg a month ago and I am literally grounded still with the worst nausea. 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

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 have been taking medrol (methyprednisolone) and Tocilizumab and just decreased to 12 mg medrol, which is the equivalent of 15 mg. prednisone.

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.

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).

I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago and have tried 5 days of IV 1000mg Solu-medrol and am currently on Gabapentin (3 pills a day) with no relief. My questions are how long do active phases usually last ? What treatments have worked for you to get out of it?

Finally had my stat MRI 24 hours after the reaction. In this hospital stat is anytime within 24 hours of order written. MRI did not show tissue swelling or changes in neck and throat and the nodes have shrunk a little. Chest x-ray was normal, but did show another enlarging node on the right close to

I'm starting with a new NHS rheumatologist, saw her for the first visit last week. On the same day I saw a new gerontologist, an 'Elderly Medicine' specialist. Both questioned the PMR diagnosis I was given five years ago. My recent bloods are nearly all "in range". The initially raised inflammatory

I was diagnosed with PMR over 5 years ago and have been on 5mg of prednisolone for nearly 4 years (low of 3). I have never had raised markers. I still have fairly significant symptoms although these have morphed slightly over the years. However, I find it difficullt to explain the difference. After

It has been over 5years since I was diagnosed with PMR and I have been on 5mg of prednisolone for nearly 4 years (with a low of 3). However, I still have fairly significant symptoms - these have morphed slightly over the years but it is difficult to actually explain the difference. I have, however, noticed

I have just received a Rheumatologist's appointment letter & was surprised to see that it will be conducted over the phone. I just wondered how common this is. I am still awaiting a definitive diagnosis having been told in January, March & June that I have seronegative inflammatory arthritis. The

After two successful years on this for RA I came crashing down a few weeks ago. Briefly a few or even more months ago I started really painful stomach cramps and were unbearable and were pretty constant. Let it go for a while and messaged the dept about them. Possibly not Beni although it can be a side

Had steroid injections and medrol dos paks until I woke up one day and couldn't walk at all bc the pain was so severe and my left foot I couldn't move.i. I thought I was maybe becoming paralyzed..

Can I expect a reduction in this awful bruising steroid side effect as I taper down from medrol?? Am currently at 18,5 mgs. Thx.

So I had a really good appointment today with professor Hughes. He listened to what I had to say and had read the medical history pre read I had sent him. After a good chat about my PMR/pred journey and all the steroid sparing drugs I had tried he came up with 3 options. 1. Stay on 10mg of pred and
