I have just completed a
Medrol
treatment and am taking Carbamazepine. Narcotics do not help much, only a bandaid anyway. I would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks, Lars

Update after a very long week
I have not been able to see my GP since the negative TAB and the surgeon’s recommendation to still treat me clinically. I had a very bad week, terrible hip/pelvic pain couldn’t turn over or get up from bed, sensative and painful shoulders at top of arms, bad bad headache in the temple and jaw pain ..

New wheel chair
I sent a message to my sister to tell her I had got a wheelchair & sent her this picture. Can you believe it? She asked me if I’d had my hair done. 😱😱 I’m at the hospital on Tuesday for a Depo-Medrone jab (an appointment I had to beg for after my 8th January appointment was cancelled). Perhaps I

Pain
I have been taking
Medrol
for about four months now, started at 15 and reduced too fast and went up to 24, and have been on a slow taper ever since. Now down to 17mg. At 20-24 I was almost pain free, but not really.

Flare
I ave only been taking
Medrol
for about three months, and because of the idiocy of my Rheumy, who had me taper to quickly, I have already had two flares. I was ok on 18 mg but flared at 16mg. Took myself back to 20mg at which I am ok. Not totally pain free, but ok.

Weight loss
I am taking 200mg Hydroxychloroquine daily, 20mg Methotrexate weekly, 5mg Folic Acid daily except MTX day. Does anyone have an answer as to why I am losing weight without reducing my calorie intake. I am currently experiencing a flare up and have had a 120mg Depo-Medrone injection. Do any of you have

Hello everyone

Need tapering off steroid support
Hi, I have been on
Medrol
( similar to prednisone) for two and a half years. My highest dose was 30 mg. I am in the process of tapering off very slowly and would really like to hear your taper stories.

Can prednisone cause hives.
A few days ago when taking my daily dose of 25 mg prednisone I started to feel panicky, complete with the feeling of chest tightness and some difficulty swallowing. At first I dismissed it, knowing prednisone can cause panic attacks and I am prone to them. Next day same symptoms, but noticed hives in

Finally
No lupus RRMS had my fst series of solumedrol it's kicking my ass with late side effects but at least I know what expect next time. This will explain all the problems I've been experiencing. Good luck to all of you and thanks for the support.
