Guest guest Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hi all, I posted something on this a few weeks ago and wanted to follow up. Next week I'm going to start my first 1000 mg. solumedrol IV, then will follow that with two other 1000 mg. infusions, one each following week. My rheumy is hoping that this big pulse of steroids will finally put me in remission, then the combo of MTX and Kineret that I'm already on will keep me there, at least for a while, at least until I can try one of the newer biologics. Best case scenario is that I'll also be able to get off of oral prednisone too. I'm nervous but hopeful. I can't imagine how wonderful it will be to not have these crappy flares every night. Lately, I've been getting one in the morning too--so no break! Keep your fingers crossed and I'll keep you posted. Monthly Solumedrol pulses are pretty standard in treatment for MS, so maybe this is another route for Still's as well. in Maine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
