      anyone here ever hear of it? It doesnt look my gbs episode would have gotten better from gammaglobulin treatment if I had this.

      I basically want someone to tell me Im ok 😀

      ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

      I asked the ER nurse and doc what they prescribed for me and they said methylone and I asked if it was a steroid or what and got weird answers – look at the box and it says methylprednisone

      Hi: Don’t know the disease or what to tell you but prednisone is used to suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation. It is very strong medication and if the er doc did not explain it to you I would find a doc who will. I would get as much info as you can. Best of luck, Jeff
