This is about my 4th or 5th time being infused w/solumedrol 1 gram for 3 days. I have been diagnosed w/MS for about 7 years. I have experienced joint pain but only when one doctor did not put me on a prednisone taper.
Overall, I am apreciative to the makers of this drug because it allows me to walk, button my clothes, cut up vegetabes for my 13 yr old daughter and my husband. Currently I am on my first day of a three day treatment and already I am experiencing the benefits. I am rt handed and it was tighter and feeling like card board, the same with my chest, back, and right leg. I felt like someone had tied a belt around my chest very tightly. It was hard to breath like a chest was on my chest! I am waiting for the nurse to start my IV at 4:00. I inject every Tuesday with Avonex. I REALLY need this medication to work so that I can drive my daughter to school each Wednesday. She is in Independant Studies because I was having vertigo and was afraid to continue driving. I was given a one day treatment of solumedrol in the emergency room. After treatment vertgo stopped. Yippee!!That was 11 months ago. Hot weather, sunlight exaserbates my condition to the 'enth degree. So here I am again hoping my right foot and right leg will get back to almost normal. People that are infirm are happy to receive whatever relief they can get in order to cope better with an illness even though I know that the only true cure for makinds ills can only come from God's Kingdom, but for now God has giver men intelligence to cure some of the illnesses that we face: Cancer - Chemotherapy (20 years ago killed my mom - hardened her lungs) ; Ads, Polio, Measles, TB and the list goes on there are upsides and downsides and it's a slippery slope, but I LOVE THAT I CAN MAKE THAT CHOICE!!! P.S. I have started using some vitamins ( B12,B6, Calcium (as solumedrol does some bone damage) and Vitamin E
