For Inflammatory Conditions "I have an autoimmune disorder, spinal stenosis, arthritis. I was given one injection in my back of Depo-Medrol, and it hasn't worked at all! Although I did have many of the side effects after the first week. I have been on the shot for 3 weeks now. My eyes are burning, blurred, I have headaches, sharp pain in my legs, sharp pain in my temples, and more."

For Inflammatory Conditions "Depo-Medrol is a nightmare drug which makes my skin extremely dry, flaky, and peeling. This drug has messed up my bowels, causing extreme gas and bloating plus sticky stools, plus I have to use the bathroom all day some days, and my anus will itch. I suggested maybe I have worms, but three stool samples say I don't. I feel chronically tired and hurt everywhere, and now I have daily headaches. This drug makes me think slow and feel dumb. So depressing. Been to a few doctors, and all they care about is a colostomy, which I feel is not the antidote for these bad side effects I've had for well over a year. I complained about these side effects after I was first given these injections, and the doctor turned a blind eye to them and kept giving me Depo-Medrol for over a year. I wonder if the doctor is keeping me sick to make money off of me."

For Inflammatory Conditions "Catastrophic and fatal as my mom passed away after 5 days from receiving the second dose of injection of 40 mg of Depo-Medrol. She got most of the undesirable side effects: shortness of breath, vomiting, tunnel vision, severe headache, dizziness, convulsions, and they couldn’t help her in the ICU."
