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.

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: 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!
