Coming to Terms With This New Feeling?
Doctor contributed the panic attack to the last dose of a steroid pack I was on (
methylprednisolone
) I have also recently stopped smoking nicotine at the same time (same day to be exact) and contributed most of my symptoms to this as of now but I can’t seem to get these feelings under control no matter

Rare case of renal limited lupus nephritis class IV
I have also received 3 days course of 500 mg
methylprednisolone
. In these strange times of Covid, I am going through lot but the good thing is kidney function has started showing improvement after all these drugs. But I am very concerned about the toxicity of these drugs.

Length of Immunocompromise with Steroids?
(I've had
methylprednisolone
infusions twice before and they helped . . . but I wish I'd taken better notes in the days afterward!) Thanks!

Pretty frustrated~!
It was back on May 18 when my doctor agreed to tapering UK style and he sent a script for 2 mg
methylprednisolone
. I won’t go into every detail...maybe I previously have...but can you believe this? The pharmacy called and said they are on backorder until July.

A bit of a GCA flare...not bad
.😊 My rheumatologist had been reducing my
methylprednisolone
quite rapidly compared to most of you...maybe all of you.

Undiagnosed child
He has spontaneous rashes on his feet/lower legs and they seem to think his small blood vessels are involved and although not enough criteria to diagnose him the consultant thinks he has a disease of the lupus family and has started him on Hydroxychloroquine and he had
methylprednisolone
infusion 2

Blotches...Splotches...?
I used to get these spots often on arms and legs when I was on lots of
methylprednisolone
, I mean like 120mg to 60mg per day. I have been tapering and am now taking 12mg per day.

Methylprednisolone vs prednisone
Does anyone have experience with the IM
methylprednisolone
vs the daily prednisone in managing symptoms. My doctor had suggested considering this but I really need more information. Thanks

Balanitis/Fungal/Bacterial Infection - Solution Found
Doc prescribed one dose of fluconazole 150mg, and advantan fatty ointment (corticosteroid -
methylprednisolone
aceponate) to be applied once a day for up to two weeks. I left with high hopes. Doc was certain this would beat whatever was wrong with my penis.

Update and Best Wishes
Have just got out of hospital after three days of
methylprednisolone
infusions. The idea was to bring me into hospital and give me a boost so I could go on a holiday. Just as well I went in because it coincided with a fairly bad attack, so hopefully I’ll be OK now for a month or so.

Hello out there, I'm back!!
[/i] I now know that I have an abcess or infection in a tooth that probably the mega doses of
methylprednisolone
masked and once I started the taper last week it was able to rear its head. I'm all set though, I'd much rather have the root canals and no pain than have it be a bonus gift of GCA.

A question about methylprednisolone~????
I was on 120mg of pred for about two months...the 64 per day for three months because my GCA would NOT quiet down and I was losing some of the sight in the right eye as well. When my rheumatologist wanted to start the taper second week of December, I wanted to postpone it until after the holidays...

Gleason 9 localized to the prostate cancer
I began Lupron and Zytiga with prednisone 10 mg in November 2018 .I switched to Yonsa and 8 mg
methylprednisolone
so I would not have to worry about food. Currently I am 10 months of 18 of planned hormone suppression.

Question about symptoms
I'm at 3.75mgs of
methylprednisolone
-- I have to cut the pill to do this, but this has helped to make each taper easier. However, I've been having some odd symptoms lately and hoping others may shed some light... First, let me say, I'm have no return of pain, which is great.
