On IV SoluMedrol for 3 days. Have RRMS and was having leg weakness and problems with vision. Steroids caused horrible heart palpatations and shortness of breath, along with nausea and facial swelling, and and increase in temp and facial flushing. Is this normal??

I had solu medrol 1gm/200 ml infused for 3 days for new MS. First day I became pale and "dead" looking. I had weakness and confusion. Day 2 I was irritable and weaker. Day 3, I was even weaker and began having shortness of breath. Day 4, I woke up feeling like I was drowning. I shuffled as I walked, had a total of 10 pound gain, I was weak and unable to eat. I began to not urinating and had extreme abdominal distention. I could not go to the bathroom. I had to sit or sleep upright. I spent a lot of time sleeping. Day 5 sudden 6 pounds more gain. Had a feeling of death. Heart rate was high..checked in the hospital..BP 90/50. I was so weak that a whisper is all I could do. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Today out of the hospital, I can only eat same amounts. solu medrol caused my system to stop functioning.
