Guest guest Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 , I had a horrible solumedrol experience too.I was clenching my jaw and climbing the walls the whole time ....yuck!

The Solumedrol IVs were the worst thing I ever let a doctor do to me. It took me months and months to get my body balanced again, and I swore I would have to be nearly dead before I'd allow it again. Now, to be fair, I've always avoided meds, other than an occasional flexeril for muscle spasms, and I do mean occasional since I've always had to toss at least half the prescription because I never used it up before the expiration date. LDN is the first prescription med I've ever taken for MS, except for the Solumedrol episode. I am very concerned about using medications that suppress or otherwise damage my immune system, and Solumedrol is definitely on that list. But since joining this group a lot of people have mentioned using the Solumed IVs and been pretty casual in their comments. Did I have an unusually bad experience with the stuff? Is it not as destructive to your immune system and general health as I had thought? ly Solumedrol scares me. Maybe you folks can educate me? ----- Original Message ----- From: "vjsims63066" <vjsims63066@...> <low dose naltrexone > Sent: Saturday, June 05, 2004 5:34 PM Subject: [low dose naltrexone] IV Injections > Hi every one its been a long time since I've posted.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 I'll tell you, it scares the stuffing out of me. I was physically miserable, angry, extremely nervous, nearly out of control. I am not going there again. I got no sleep, and had a feeling that my psyche was going over a cliff, that I was about to disappear into insanity. Apparently a very dangerous med for me, and no support or guidance from the neuro at all. I'm sorry you had a bad time with it too, but now at least I know I'm not the only one. ----- Original Message ----- From: low dose naltrexone Sent: Sunday, June 06, 2004 11:43 AM Subject: [low dose naltrexone] Re:solumedrol , I had a horrible solumedrol experience too.I was clenching my jaw and climbing the walls the whole time ....yuck!
