Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 I think that poll was a little confusing. I'm sure that virtually all of us have been injected with steroids (ie; cortisone) at one time or another, but I've never heard of anyone having been given cortisone or any other steroid via an intravenous drip, which I assume is what the question was asking(?) I know Remicade is given via IV drip, but I'm pretty sure it isn't a steroid. -- Ron [Meghan's Note: I don't know who set the poll up, but I thought it was confusing as well.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Hi, about 15 years ago when I had a massive flare up I was given an intravenous drip of steroid. I think it was called something like Solimedrone (SP). I was given 1 dose of 1000mg every 48 hrs, for 6 days and the results were fantastic literally over night it killed my flare up. It lasted for about 3 months but then suddenly dropped off and left me back where I started. It also caused me to feel very depressed, during that 3 months knowing sooner or later it was going stop working. The hospital stopped using soon after that as 3000mg of steroid was thought to be a bit excessive!!! . >From: " ron_s_dotson " <PA@...> >Reply- > >Subject: [ ] Re: Poll results for >Date: Wed, 05 Jun 2002 03:43:23 -0000 > >I think that poll was a little confusing.
