Thigh swelling, Dr. ordered 20 mgs of medrol as part of treatment
Any ideas how to get this woman to stop with the instantaneous administering of 20 mgs of
methylprednisolone
everytime she sees me (I believe I am her only patient w GCA-). ----? Anyone else dealing with inguineal tendon and thigh nerve pain? How do you deal w meralgia paresthetica?

Temporal Arteritis in 23 year old male
The only medication I ever took that seemed to help the temple pain was a Medrol (
methylprednisolone
) 6 day pack I took. The pain went away after the 3rd day but returned once I ran out of steroids. Could this be temporal arteritis at such a young age?

Adrenal Cortex for PMR
I have been trying to taper down from
Methylprednisolone
and I was suggested to use Adrenal Cortex because it picks up where your Adrenal Glands don't produce Cortisol? I also have Hypothyroidism and am taking Synthroid for that. Will the Adrenal Cortex counteract with the thyroid medication?

Methylprednisolone
I live in the States, and was wondering if anyone on here is on Medrol (
methylprednisolone
)? From what I understand it is prednisone but just works a little different in the body. My question is if anyone would know how to go about tapering on this drug because the smallest pill I can get is 4mg.

Armour or Erfa?
I also realise I feel better on 6 mg of Medrol daily than on 4 mg (which I was hoping I'd do well on as I hate the idea of taking a lot of
Methylprednisolone
....).

Is there anyone on long term steroid therapy? Could you share your stories. The pros in specific.
I take 4 mg daily of
methylprednisolone
. I have tried to wean off and was unable due to secondary adrenal fatigue. I have been on this medication 3 years. I get routine blood work every 6 months and thus far my calcium is good.

On prednisolene but have been given Tildiem Retard today for suspected heart problem.
It says in the leaflet that it can increase the effects of
methylprednisolone
? Is that the same Pred I am on for my PMR?

Antiobiotics and prednisone ? Does anyone know if antibiotics are prescribed/congestion, fever, while you are on pred?
In the past, before being on the
methylprednisolone
, after a few days, and colored sputum (which I have), the doctor would prescribe antibiotics. Has anyone gone on a course of antibiotics, while on prednisone ? Will google it, for dangers, and side effects. Thanks. best, Whittlesey

Hi! I was diagnosed with "atypical ms" 30+ years ago - I had a lumbar puncture positive for ms but an MRI that was not.
Some of the neurological problems are relapsing & remitting & I respond well to
methylprednisolone
. Has anyone else had a diagnosis of atypical ms with functional symptoms that are so longstanding?

Any good consultants/haematologist in London? Please help :)
In September 2013, I went to A&E with heavy menstrual bleeding and bruising and after a blood test my platelets were 4 so I was admitted for almost a week, i was on transexamic acid and
methylprednisolone
, then discharged after the bleeding had settled and my platelet count was 26.

Aspergillus fumigatus and chronic eosinophilic pneumonia
Treatment of course is, you guessed it, high-dose steroids, starting with 3 days IV
methylprednisolone
, then oral steroids starting with 30mg/day for a week. Deep joy. So obesity, headaches, sleeplessness and even more bone density loss here we come!

Methylprednisolone IV
I had an infusion yesterday (first one) and have developed a red face and chest, non itchy, looks like sunburn. Is this a recognised after effect of treatment?

Methylprednisolone IV
He has a note from his doctor on his usual treatment but they have him on a
methylprednisolone
IV and then oral prednisone for a week, plus he is still using his flovent 8 puffs per day. Isn’t this a bit of overkill.
