"I have had repeated Solu-Medrol success for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). If given enough the first time, it doesn't need to be repeated, and I can have had remissions lasting for 18 months to over 2 years, living a normal, productive life. The drug is not used enough for this disease unless SLE is life-threatening. This drug should be used more to prevent life-threatening SLE issues."

"My comment is about Solu-Medrol 1000 mg given via IV for 3 days while hospitalized for bilateral pulmonary embolisms. The goal, get my platelets up over 100 so that I can start my blood thinner again. My platelets slowly increased. I noticed an immediate horrible taste in my mouth. The next day, feeling like I had pneumonia. I couldn’t breathe and felt worse than I have ever in my life. The second and third days, nervous, several panic attacks, tachycardia. I had headaches, exhausted. My vision is still blurry after several days. My left eye is droopy. I had 3 chest X-rays, no pneumonia. I have never taken over 60 mg of prednisone. This bronchitis that I feel was a result of the immunosuppressant has really put me down and made me depressed. I’m at home on 60 mg daily, no energy."
