What are your experiences with IV Solu-Medrol?

I've never heard of Solu-medrol weakening your immune system. If you are asking how we fare with getting sick while on our MS medicine, from what i hear, its manageable by taking extra measures such as frequent hand washing, maybe a mask during flu season. I'm on tysabri, I have been prone to infection but as far as cold germs, I have two young kids who get sick and I dont catch it, nor do I take precautions.

Solu-medrol is a steroid. Most common side effects are munchies, weight gain, problems regulating emotions, irritability, sweating, Upset stomach.

When I had it I was EXTREMELY anxious for 24 hours. I cried a lot and I was hungry. The effects only lasted a day or two.

I hope everything goes well and that it helps you feel better.
