I've been prescribed Methylprednisolone 16mg Tablets for my rheumatoid arthritis and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by the possible side effects. Has anyone else had experience with this medication? What should I expect? I'm particularly worried about the more serious side effects like infections or Cushing's syndrome. Has anyone experienced these or know someone who has? How do you manage the side effects and when do you know if it's serious enough to call the doctor? Also, are there any tips or tricks to make taking this medication easier? I would love to hear from anyone who has been through this.
