Guest guest Posted March 10, 2001 Report Share Posted March 10, 2001 I have never have had Medrol IV, but I have had a shot of 100 mg Depo-Medrol IM, for a bad flair up, it is a steroid and helps a great deal, but its not without side affects, I find I get very nasty from it, which I'm told is the case with a lot of steroids.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 > Holy Moly! Went to see my Rhuem for follow up visit and he wasn't happy about my hands still being inflamed... He up'd my medrol from 6mlgs two times a day to 16 mlg's 3 times a day! AHHHH! He said I need to try it for one week.. > He's also sending me for a full body CAT scan and ultra sounds of my breasts and thyroid... Anyone know what he's looking for? He told me he was just taking precautions... > The most medrol I've taken was 16 mlgs a day, and it made me really nasty/B-tchy... I was a complete nervous wreck constantly annoyed over everything, not to mention the weight gain... I feel like crying just thinking about it... I have no idea what this amount will do... I'm even afraid to find out... Road rage-----here I come! (lol) > > Has anyone else been on this high of a dose? He says he's attempting to knock the crap out of my system... I think he's trying to send me to the looney bin! But I have to trust him, as he really does seem to want to help... Oh God Help Me!!!!! (and those that need to live with me for the next week) Thanks for listening... Bonnie > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I misunderstood, Bonnie. It sounded as though you were on just medrol. You must really have a very aggressive form of whatever you have. It does usually take a long time to get a firm diagnosis. I hope you see improvement soon.
