Breathlessness 2nd day for about 5 minutes. | Was experiencing severe pain in all major and small joints. Pain almost alleviated entirely. Went from barely able to walk or pick up a cup to complete agility. | F | 52 | 3 days 6 day pack 1X day | 9/15/2014 | 5 | Herniated disks | None. Miracle drug. Went from agonizing pain, Not being able to walk sleep or move, to being pain free w/in the week. | F | 25 | 1 weeks Dose pack | 8/29/2014 | 1 | pain in back and neck muscle | Day one on pack felt ok with unusual runny nose. Pain a little better. 2nd day woke up seeing brilliant halos. High blood pressure (175/100) persisted thru the day. At night it went to 210/110 rushed to ER. They gave me valium. 3rd day same as second taking valium and advil. 4th is today and me bp still extremely high and the pain still there probably contributing to it. Before this medrol pack my bp was normal. I deeply regret taking this pills. My dr should have warned me. Horrible.

Racing heart, sweating, couldn't breath, dizziness. Couldn't lie down due to tightening of my chest, nausea. Cronic cough | I am still suffering side effects now 3 months later. I slept sitting up for almost 3 months. I have had every test done including cat scan, chest x-rays, tons of blood work done. Now when I lie down my heart races. My doctor looks at me like I'm crazy. In the past you had to drag me through the door to go to the doctor. These symptoms are real and they are scary !!!! Inhalers make it worse, I have a collection of them ! When I breath it feels like the inside of my chest is raw and a constant cough. I was fine before the steroids, wish the doctors could figure out what is wrong. Unless you have a really serious aliment, Don't take this medication. It is Dangerous !!!!!! | F | 55 | 8 days 3X day | 8/19/2014 | 5 | cervical radiculopathy | Facial flushing, puffy belly and cheeks, mood swings/easily agitated. Withdrawal: extreme fatigue, muscle aches, agitation, etc. In many ways, withdrawal is worse than condition being treated. | I dislike Medrol because of the side effects and withdrawal symptoms experienced even at a very low dosage. However, it DOES RELIEVE NERVE PAIN BETTER than muscle relaxers and/or traditional pain meds. | F | 38 | 10 days 4mg 1X day | 8/10/2014 | 3 | allergic reaction, had bad hives | Felt dehydrated. Chest tight. Felt like I could't sit still. No appetite. A little nausea. | Overall, knowing that it was only for six days, I stuck with it knowing it was going to be out of my system soon.
