A member asked:
How often is it safe to get iv solumedrol (methylprednisolone) for the treatment of chronic status migraines?

Very safe: There is no gold standard for the treatment of status migrainosis. This is a fairly safe option, specially if it works for you.

Some issues: First, you have diabetes, and the steroids WILL increase your blood sugars. Secondly, repetitive steroids will increase risk of osteoporosis, avascular necrosis of hip, shoulder, or knee, cataracts or glaucoma, and many other side effects. Would not advise this approach more than twice yearly, and even then, limit to a few days.
