Hi Jo,
This is only the 1st day taking Methylpredinisolone.  And, I already feel a difference.
I feel the new flare up has gone down a little...and it's not so painful anymore....I hope this will make it disappear!
Today, my lab report came back! I'm confirmed to have GM!!!!!!!
So, I was right and joined the correct group.  I'm in here for good!!!!!

Hi - I thought I would include the definition.  I have tried Prednisone, not sure if they are the same.  Seems like they must be related.  Jo

DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Methylprednisolone is a synthetic (man-made) corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are naturally-occurring chemicals produced by the adrenal glands located adjacent to the kidneys. Corticosteroids affect metabolism in various ways and modify the immune system. Corticosteroids also block inflammation and are used in a wide variety of inflammatory diseases affecting many organs.

PREPARATIONS: Tablets: 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, and 32 mg. Injection: 20, 40, and 80 mg/ml.

Examples of inflammatory conditions for which methylprednisolone is used include rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, acute gouty arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease.
