Atypical PMG and Depo-Medrol
I have seen conflicting information about how long a shot of Depo-
Medrol
is usually effective for. Can anyone help on that? I don’t know whether 120 ml could have brought about such a great reduction in symptoms for so long.

Tapering advice please.
Brief recap on me. In June this I year had 120mg Depo-medrone injection (for PMR), which was little short of miraculous, from private Rheumy who then wrote to my GP asking her to continue these on NHS. You bang your head against a brick wall at our surgery but I finally had another injection in September

Fragile skin on lower leg
Hi all, I have had PMR 8 years and am currently on 4/3 mg of
Medrol
. My skin on my legs from the knee down are very fragile and bruise and cut easily. I wear compression socks which helps but when taking them on and off I still bruise. I currently take 1000 mg of collagen.

Can anyone who has experienced it please explain the difference between 'withdrawal pain' and return of symptoms when reducing Pred dose?
I am currently on a high dose of Pred (22 per day). I feel this is the bare minimum my body needs, and I actually possibly need more. If I take, say 22.5, I feel much better. I'd obviously like to reduce the dose if possible because of the side effects of Pred , but every time I go down to 21, even

Hot weather and Diarrhea TAPERING dilemna
In the three days of high heat temperatures in London last month I became ill with continual diarrhea. I wasn't eating much, I did take electrolytes, but it didn't dawn on me that my doses of preds (at the tail end of a taper from 8.5 to 8) were probably being washed away with digestive contents. So

PMR or Osteo Arthritis?
I wanted to update you on my recent additional health issues and ask if anyone has had experience of depo medrone injections. When I last posted I was having aches and stiffness in my shoulders,hands hips, knees and ankles. It is particularly bad after sleeping or sitting for a period of time. After

Dangers of treatment for mild symptoms
Hello all. My PET scan showed evidence of PMR and my rheumatologist wants me to go onto steroids although I have very little pain or stiffness at present. This is to guard against GCA. If I understood her correctly the options include local injections and Depo Medrone. The rheumatologist also mentioned

How long does a depo-medrone injection last
I had a steroid injection just over 8 weeks ago and feeling fantastic still! I usually only have relief for about 4 weeks, if anything, so does that mean my biologic might actually be working? I’ve been on Benepali since last December (alongside Sulfasalazine) and not seen any real improvement.

Does acupuncture works on ITP?
I have started taking
MEDROL
(48mg per day), now i m taking 16mg per day and i will gradually go to 3mg per day till i stop. At the same time I have started acupuncture. Has anyone have tried before? Is it going to help to stabilise the platelets or make my immune system stronger and healthier?

Has anyone successfully used Dr. Peatfield´s Adrenal Fatigue protocol?
I was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue in October 2020 and prescribed
Medrol
instead of HC or pred (as I am on blood pressure medication and
Medrol
doesn´t affect blood pressure).

PMR or something else? I'm lost
My blood test came as normal again but the rheumy said I have classic symptoms of PMR and prescribed me
Medrol
4 mg twice a day and gradually reducing it to 0 in three months. This medication helped me almost within hours. But complications started back in the UK.

Unfortunate News precipitated by rare side effect of Docetaxl
He was taken to emergency on Jan 6th where a lung x-ray was conducted and he was diagnosed with Non-specific interstitial pneumonitis (NSIP) - perhaps ILD (interstitial lung disease) induced by chemo, and he was started on 40mg soluble
medrol
(methyl prednisolone) via infusion for 5 days.

Medrol Steroid POST-cryoablation
My doc office said a

steroid (which would really help me w pain) COULD trigger afib, not that it WOULD. Does anyone have thoughts on if I should avoid the
Medrol
steroid altogether, or take it? Not looking for medical advice, just thoughts . . .

How quickly did it take depo-medrone steroid injection to work for your Lupus swelling?
I had a depo-medrone systemic injection for my lupus swelling. I was advised it should take effect 1-2 days, unless I misunderstood. I would be so grateful to know how long this steroid has taken for others to reduce the inflammation.

Lupus and Heart Disease: Why You’re at Increased Risk
Medication The biggest offenders are steroids like prednisone and methylprednisolone (
Medrol
), which are often used to control lupus flares. Flares themselves can be bad for your heart; it’s not unusual to develop pericarditis in the midst of a flare.
