Methylprednisolone "A very effective drug for stopping MS relapses. I have had about 7 courses of treatment (over approximately 20 years) consisting of infusion of 1 gram per day of Solu-Medrol for 3 consecutive days. Pretty brutal side effects: immediate metallic taste in mouth after commencing infusion; persistent agitation or feeling wired; difficulty sleeping; spikes blood sugar. All side effects disappear shortly after the conclusion of infusion therapy."

Methylprednisolone "Took through IV 1000 mg for 3 days. I am so sick. I ache, my chest hurts, the side effects are terrible, they're worse than the MS flare-up. I would never take this again."

"I am 63 and have had MS since 1992. Started with numbness from neck down for 2 years... then optic neuritis in '97, where I first discovered methylprednisolone and how it saved my eyesight. After that, tried interferon (paid $18,000 per year) nope... Failed... I have been through numerous relapses from dizziness, confusion (the worst if you ask me), optic neuritis twice, astigmatism 6 months... I couldn’t walk more than a few times (and I know I have it easy compared to some), but there are only 2 things I feel that have helped me... One is diet (Dr. Gregor) and the other is methylprednisolone... There is soooo much more to this story... Especially my screw-ups... If I just got this disease and knew what I have learned, I would read or watch Dr. Gregor's info on Dr. Swank's 5-7 minute video... and use methylprednisolone only when I really had to... It’s not perfect but will help you while you do the research and figure this out... Here is wishing you the best..."
