User Reviews for Methylprednisolone

methylprednisolone: I have a lot of joint pain and swelling in my thumbs and feet. One of my toes is so swollen that I can't wear any shoes! The steroids reduce the swelling so much that I can wear my shoes again, and I'm not limping. Of course, it's very temporary, but at least I can enjoy feeling normal for a few days!

methylprednisolone: Having osteoarthis,fibromyalgia,osteoporosis along with RA this medication is a wonder drug for me.I take the mythlpred 4mg pak.It gives me the relief to be able to live a normal life even it is for 2 to 3 months at a time,

Medrol Dosepak (methylprednisolone): I've been prescribed Medrol Dosepak on two occasions over the last 10 years. Each time I experienced relief from the pain and swelling within a few days. I did not experience any side effects.

methylprednisolone: with this medication I am able to walk and have free movment of my arms that are worthless without it! this is a godsend best thing to happen to me!

methylprednisolone: Methylprednisolone (medrol) has far fewer side effects than most other steroids. It still, though, has increased appetite, especially when not taken steadily, so be aware of how much food you consume. It is a highly effective systemic steroid and requires 20% less to achieve the same effects mg for mg than prednisone. It is, however, weak compared to dexamethasone (decadron).

methylprednisolone: This medicine worked great! I could walk, jump, run, and do all the things any other teen could do. The negative parts of this medicine include weight gain, headaches, and other serious things like glaucoma (the reason I had to get off, so please get eye exams when on this). The hardest part is getting off after you've been on it for a while. I flared up to the point where I was back to square 1. Also, never miss a dose. Despite all of that, most people don't have those side effects and it does seem to be effective even in the long run. It's also relatively cheap and definitely worth a try.
