Methylpred DP and steroid

I had a severe allergic reaction to a Sulfa drug that I was taking to prevent infection . I had a skin cancer removed from my nose. As a precaution I was given Sulfa. I became very ill. I ran a high fever ( 103) . The Doctor said it was not from the Sulfa drug. Advised to go to Primary Care Dr to check for a Virus ( flu) . I ended up in the Emergencey Room at the Hospital the same day . By then I had broken out in a red rash all over my body. They immediateky asked if I was on Sulfa drug. I was given a steroid shot for the rash & tylenol for fever ;also prescription for Methylpred. It worked great. Now, after 2 months, I believe I am having side effects from the Methylpred. The instructions were to stay out of the sun whild taking Methylpred and for a while after the 6 days. It has been 2 months . When I get in the sun I break out in a rash that feels, looks & acts like a sunburn. I even peeled. I am 78 yrs old. I do not normally take drugs, so I had no idea I would be allergic to anything. The Pharmacy Dr. does not believe this side effect could last 2 months. What do you think? Ed

My pharmacist told me that many people can experience euphoria or dysphoria when taking the steroid pack. Is this true?

ive been on this steroid several times for:
-asthma
-exczema
-poison ivy

my side effects are actually humorous. I have delayed reaction time,i get dopey and start drooling, and im very very giggly. Some of the not-so-funny side effects are jello-like feeling in your legs and arms, severe nausea at night after you take the dose for the day, lack of sleep, and my head feels 20 pounds heavier.

this steroid works very well, nothing else really does anything for me.

I am taking methylprednisolone on the 6 day course, am on day two. I am also taking Panlor pain medicine. The combination of these two has produced a very interesting and for me a very pleasing side effect. When I am layed down to sleep, but not quite asleep, I get a somewhat mild euphoria. Then followed by hypnogogic pre-dreamstate imagery that is sexual in nature. Then when actually asleep and dreaming the dreams have been incredibly vivid and intense, in one case a nightmare that resulted in my physically yelling and waking up, which is highly uncommon for me. For me nightmares or intense dreams are a good thing, I am a sometimes lucid dreamer and I enjoy such experiences. I am hoping that these side effects continue. Other than that I get a mildly upset stomach because I do not follow the directions and drink a full glass of water. I should note that this side effect is not present on the Panlor alone, only in combination with the corticosteroid. I was given the steroid to reduce inflamation of my sciatic nerve, and so far it does not seem to have helped, but its only day 2. I might also add that I have been happier, more likely to laugh, although I am not typically depressed or anything, I assume this is a more latent form of the euphoria some people experience.

My spouse was just prescribed this 6-day treatment and I am concerned. It has been prescribed just 10 days after receiving an epidural by injection. The injection has offered no relief, but instead promoted a new problem in an area that did not bother him before. Now the treating physician has prescribed methylprednisolone and I am concerned about the steroid involved in addition to the one just recently injected. Please advise me if you have any reputable sources to make inquiry. Thank you.
