3 days in a row of drinking large dose of solumedrol mixed with cranberry juice from a vile.
pros: got rid of my symptoms.
cons: leaves awful taste in your mouth for days.

Have an IV once a month. Fine right after, except that lights hurt my eyes. 2nd day - full-on spazzy rage. Third day - muscles feel as if they are being ripped off my bones. Good stuff. But I refuse to go on Tysabri, so this or nothing is my only option.

Had some improvement with the last round, but no "big fix" by any means. Regimen was 4g total IV... 1g/day for 3 days the 500mg/day for last two days. No "roid rage" but towards the end I was getting very short tempered and bitchy. Also if I looked at food I got heartburn.

works, just gives me very bad skin reactions

This one works but is wicked unless you taper off.

Solumedrol did help when symptoms were so extreme or prolonged causing me to be hospitalized.
I later developed an adverse reaction/allergy/sensitivity to the drug which prevented it from working further.

It really helps, but the side effects are bad.
