Absolutely NOT!: Stop and seek a pulmonary medical consultation-NOW! Prolonged steroid therapy can be dangerous. Call prescribing physician ASAP!

Shortness of breath.: I'd presume at this point that the Medrol (steroid) is clearly not treating what's causing your shortness of breath. When effective, steroids typically have an appreciable effect in about 24 hours. So their ineffectiveness across a three month span of time suggests that they're potentially not the proper treatment for what's going on with you. Please visit with your doctor for a re-evaluation.
