The infusion service I have used since my first ever began sending gravity fed set-ups as opposed to force fed baloons. We have done the research and will call another service in the future!

Side effects:
Jumpy feeling, Nausea, Antsy, Difficulty sleeping through night, Jittery feeling, Eye problems, Sleeplessness, Paranoia, Flushed
Date
Mar 01, 2012
Advice & Tips
I stopped and never will take Solu-Medrol again. Side effects bad, jittery and esp paranoid feeling.
Cost
< $25 monthly
Date
Aug 05, 2010
Advice & Tips
I take either a sleeping pill or a muscle relaxer right after I have the infusion. I take it because I feel jittery from the infusion. It's after the first 3 days of Solu that I feel mildly panicky and have trouble sleeping. Solu-Medro reduces the inflammation that causes my hands to be numb. This is my last treatment (6 of 6 Mar-Aug) and I hope this treatment gets me back to normal, prerelapse. Then again my hands my always be numb and a flare-up will affect my ulnar nerve again.
Cost
< $25 monthly
Date
Jun 03, 2010
Advice & Tips
Once a month infusion works best for me. I don't sleep much on the night treatment. By the second day am almost back to normal and pain decreases. An infusion everyday for 5 days in a row was too hard on me. I slept about 5 hours in 3 days. My hands don't tingle as much and the numbness isn't as bad as it was 7 months ago. It's easier to make one trip a month because I can rest when I return home. Five day treatment stressed me out.
Cost
< $25 monthly
Date
May 04, 2010
Advice & Tips
The first 2 nights after the infusion I couldn't sleep. Ask your doctor for medication for sleep. For me I felt jittery the first few days.
Cost
< $25 monthly
Date
Dec 15, 2009
Advice & Tips
The infussions are right to the problem fix. I wouldn't want to take pills at least not when I get a bad relapse. The days of jitters and insomnia is tolerable. I have better mobility with my right arm and do not wake up in pain.
Cost
< $25 monthly
Date
Mar 13, 2009
Advice & Tips
this is great for an instant pain relief fix and the side effects go away quicker than I think prednisone pills. The week of body pain from Solu outweighs the relapse pain I suffered for over a month. I don't like the jitters or insomnia I get but it is tolerable.
Cost
< $25 monthly
