To those who have taken METHYLPREDNISOLONE?

[JuniperLyn]

I'm just wondering what your experience with it was? good, bad etc? I have been running a low grade fever almost every day for the past year and a half, and my rhem doctor just put me on this starting tomorrow, am stressing it a bit because I've read some scary side effects, my system is sensitive to a lot of medicines, even ones I took before I can't now or need a lower dose since I started having my fevers. Its only for 6 days, so I can probably deal with it if I hear what other experiences were. Thanks.

I wouldnt worry. Methypredisolone is a strong steroidal anti-inflammatory, Ive had to use it many times in the past for things such as a severely strained back. It works. Its also pretty much just prednisone except its changed up a bit so its not destroyed so much by the liver. A lot of people use those medications. Only thing I would tell you would be not to drink alcohol or take any other anti-inflammatories such as advil(ibuprofen) or aleve(naproxen).

Dont worry you will be fine.

It made me about ready to kill someone. Seriously I was so aggressive on that stuff, but I liked it in a way. It also made my body feel warmer and my face red. Whether or not I actually developed a higher body temp, I don't know. It does work, though, for the purpose it's intended.
