Methylprednisolone and prednisolone
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 .? 🤔

Methylprednisolone: my experience
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.

Taking blood tests after Pred
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!

Cold Turkey
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?

Flare under control?
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?

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 .

Update ..pulse therapy with methylprednisolone for GCA flare
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

PCA Cure and when?
PSA is 0 on ADT and Abiraterone and
methylprednisolone
. Averaged 8,600 steps/day. I have just started to add occasional sprinting. I am taking multiple supplements. I am greatful that my PSA is 0. I work everyday and pray for a cure. What is our best hope for a cure and when?

How do you handle high appetite?
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.

Well, I just took 60 mg of prednisone~Wednesday night in the States~
The ER Dr. contacted my rheumatologist, who ordered an IV with 60mg of
methylprednisolone
, the equivalent of 75mg of prednisone. It didn't seem that long before the pains started to subside. He wanted them to keep me overnight so he could visit in the morning.

Second guessing myself on how to proceed
I've had PMR since January 2022 and was initially put on
methylprednisolone
(4 mg twice a day) for about 2 months but that made me ill so was switched to prednisone (5 mg twice a day).
