Hi Jenn,
Sorry to hear you are having these symptoms.
Of course, all I can tell you about are my experience, and I'm not even sure they are the same as anyone else's.
When I was in the hospital, I had significant pain from my chest to my toes. It hurt to be touched. I wasn't able walk. A few weeks later, I started getting strong muscle contractions. When my husband tried to get me out of bed, my legs would contract up to my chest. Later, when I could walk, I felt something like the MS hug - squeezing, pressure and tightness in my torso.
The steroid drip really did help me. My first five days on the drip, I started feeling better. After a few days, I started to decline and had to get another five days that was followed up with oral prednisone.
It was a bit of a journey, but I'm feeling much better now.
Hope you are feeling better soon.

On my 3rd (of 5) of IV daily Methylprednisone 1000 gm Treatment my body feels like I'm filling with concrete worst when sitting or standing. I feel like my body is getting squeezed from my chin to my hips. Called the neurologist (his first clippers case) and he said its not a reaction to the IV.
Has anyone else experienced this? I was ready to go to ER when it hit my neck yesterday.
