Experiences with

Methylprednisolone

I know you cannot take methylprednisolone and prednisolone simultaneously but can one transfer from methylprednisolone to prednisolone without any adverse effects , bearing in mind that 4mg methylprednisolone is stronger so is equal to 5mg prednisolone .? 🤔

Hi everyone, just diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis and yesterday was given a Methylprednisolone intramuscular injection and about to be put on Methotrexate to control condition.

Can I take my prednisolone and levothyroxine together or better one hour apart ?

Just to confirm I add 4mg methylprednisolone for one week then back to my current 10mg . Hopefully that will work.

I've been on Methylprednisolone for 2.5 years, currently at 6mg (after a slight flare at 4mg).

We went over my regular medication, and I slipped up by telling him I take methylprednisolone on an as needed basis. Well, he goes and puts on my notes to not prescribe me any going forward. He told me it's just a placebo!

I just wanted to post my experience of methylprednisolone IV in case it might help someone one day. I was in a big flare so my rheumatologist suggested IV methylprednisolone once a week for 3 weeks.

Hi, If someone has finished the MethylPrednisolone pack on July 5, 2024, how soon can blood be drawn to get a reading of CRP and ERS without it impacting the results? How long does Pred stay in our systems and affect the CRP and ERS blood test results? Thank you!

Hello Everyone, What happens if i just "Cold Turkey" Stop the 6.5 mg of methylprednisolone? I'm so sick of it all. I've gotten very low on meds (even zero for a few days) and the pain and stiffness return so bad i can't function. If i just quit, what's the worst that can happen?

My consultant has suggested methylprednisolone iv. Does anyone have any experience or advice as I don't know much about what to expect. Thank you

Had anyone had this experience if prescribed prednisolone or methylprednisolone abroad. I also take Thyroxine tablets daily .

I'm on methylprednisolone so that why other dosage. Thankyou

Next for me is a try with a methylprednisolone 5day infusion. Will be my 4th treatment hoping for a little relief soon.

I've been on methylprednisolone since March 2024. Started at 64mg per day and reduced successfully to 8mg per day 6 weeks ago.Have had no pain since starting but this week I have had some pain in shoulders neck, upper arms and hips.

I have always been on a split dose of methylprednisolone and my latest was 4mcg at breakfast and 4mcg tea time. I had some achy hips and shoulders and neck last week so Dr increased my dose to 10mcg at breakfast .

I upped my methylprednisolone from 3mg to 10mg for past 5 days. Today will be day 6. Pains are gone and yesterdays lab work normal again. CRP <.3mg. Can I try to drop the dosage now or should I wait another few days?

Hello all I started taking methylprednisolone almost 3 years ago for PMR. In order to control weight gain I implemented intermittent fasting and skipped breakfast. So I have been taking my steroids at lunch time ever since in order to take with a meal.

Most importantly, thank you to all of you for your support. I wouldn't be where I am without you. My intentions of an update were there yesterday, but I am here at any rate. I'm just a thankful 'Pred-mess' at the moment. After the first 1000mg on Thursday, I was just 'wired.' I sat up that whole day

First time we visited urgent care and they gave him a methylprednisolone pack and it helped a bit but still came back.
