Solu-Medrol and nurse

My daughter had just about every reaction mentioned above. She was being treated for an acute flare of SLE (Lupus in the worst form.) Not only did she lose her kidneys (19 yrs old, second year in Pre-med at Baylor University. She began seeing strange "black ghosts" while in CCICU. The nurse talked to the Doc, he says oh, its only "ICU Psychosis". What??? She wasn't hallucinating, just strange vision. The came the pressure in her head. No one bothered to call in an Optho, so they did Lumbar Puncture after Lumber Puncture. They released us with the pressures still high. Suddenly, my baby sat up and said "Mother is my right eye open?" It was...I jumped into action, got her to a local doc who sent us running to Houston...my daughter lost all of her sight in her right eye and most of it iin her left, she has no peripheral vision or color in the tiny bit of vision she has. The depression is killing her. Her doctor says "yeah, it happend...200 out of 1000. Can you imagine..all he had to do was has a doc use his little light,look behind her eyes and my precious daughter would be simply waiting on a kidney and then back to medicine. Please don't let this happen to you or a loved one...insist that they call in an eye doctor. Our lives will never be the same.

I was taking solumedrol for five days for an acute attack of MS. I was fine throughout the treatment the nurse came out to my home and showed me and my son what was to be done each day. I left the drip set to 104 which took around 2 hours to complete. The only things I experienced during the treatment was having a metalic taste in my mouth and sour burps thereafter, something I found helpful for this was to take tums or rolaids before my treatment and maybe one or two afterwards. I did ask the nurse was that something I was supposed to experience and she said yes. On my 5th day I took my medication and took the IV out. A couple days passed and I woke up one morning to looking like I was reliving my puberty years I mean my face was broke out all over, my forehead, cheeks, chin oh and also my back. I don't know if this is one of the side effects but I am putting it up here anyways. I have never had a break out like that before, my face is clearing up now, my back is up together, but I did notice that on my forehead where the bumps have dried up my skin looks different sort of like snake skin, and my cheeks look as if they have a rash. I think it did have something to do with the medication because like I said I have never experienced anything like this before, and my skin has never looked the way it looks now. Hopefully it will pass. On the positive note the medication did help me out with my attack, and I feel like I am back on track and pretty much my old self again.
