re: Solu-Medrol I had it for 5 days (I think most of us had it when we had the acute attack of TM). It can cause nightmares, and make you anxious, makes your glucose (blood sugar) rise, so be careful of what you eat. The side effects disappear once you stop it though. It's very effective in bringing down the inflammation. http://www.drugs.com/cdi/solu-medrol-solution.html
Tegretol: I never used it, but others I know have. http://www.drugs.com/cdi/tegretol.html Marieke, RN TM since 2004 @ T1 --Forwarded Message Attachment-- Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2008 10:19:18 -0800 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: tmic-list@eskimo.com; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [TMIC] Question from Randy Randy asked me to forward this. Anyone what to tell him their experience with Solu-Medrol? Jenna [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ok u might forward this to group. I have no forward ability on blackberry. They are treating me with IV methyprnisolone (solu-medrol) and added tergetal for the facial pain. Could someone look up, explain or add personal experiences from the methyprnisolone.

The facial nerves are inflamed but the brain stem is ok. Theyu don't knw the cause but believe it is an ear infection that attacked the nervous system. But it isn't a nuro problem per say. The steriods seem to be working. They also have a better ENT going to look at me. They say that I will probably have to have surgery on inner ear. But that is left up to the ENT. _________________________________________________________________
