1. I've been mixing the generic name with a brand name. The generic name is "methylprednisolone. " One of the brand names is "Prednizone. ".
2. I don't recommend anyone just go out and try random medications without doing research and consulting an expert, especially not on my recommendation.
3. Except as prescribed by a doctor, I don't recommend anyone start a daily regimen, long term, of any medication, and if recommended by a doctor I suggest checking for alternatives.
4. Some of the effects of altitude sickness (difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, dizziness, lack of energy) may possibly be reduced methylprednisolone, since it's also used as a treatment for asthma. I'm somewhat surprised one of the drug companies hasn't tried marketing it for this. Now watch. In 6 months it'll be the latest OTC sensation.
5. Where are all of you guys every time someone is suggesting getting testosterone injections in Colombia, or picking up Viagra, or Cialis without a prescription?

Posts: 38Stabbing near Fiebre.
I was with a couple of my friends in front of Fiebre club (1 de mayo) this Saturday and then we saw a kid by himself run up to 2 or 3 guys and pointed out to everybody and yelled out "they stole my phone!" There were a lot of people around and no one paid any attention to him. He then fell down. I and my friends approached and helped him. He was stabbed twice in the ribs and once in the hamstring (leg) (They stabbed him there so he wouldn't chase them I guess). We called an ambulance and he had to remove his coat and dress shirt. Don't go to places alone and a phone is not worth your life!

I've been dealing with a back problem for almost 30 years now. Been through physical therapy, massage therapy, traction, chiropractic treatment, plus about every combination of pills imaginable. Given the choice between another 6 months of PT, 3 times a week, or taking a pill for a week, I'd rather spend $10 on the pill. Quicker results, cheaper and just as effective.
The doctors prescribed me NSAIDs for years, with no effect, unless I wanted to risk kidney damage from ridiculously high dosages. Now, about every 3 years they'll prescribe me 6 or 7 days of the steroid and I'm mostly pain free for a few years.

Posts: 6Newbie traveling to Bogota for 2 weeks, where can I meet fellow mongers?
I apologize if this is the wrong board, I looked for an introduction board but couldn't find one.
Anyway, I'm totally new to mongering and never been out of the country. I've read a bunch of posts trying to get an idea of what to expect. However, I was wondering if it's possible to find someone to show me the ropes when I get there, and if so where I can find someone that would be willing to do that?
Another last resort option is bringing a buddy fluent in Spanish with me. I will be traveling to Bogota in May, and will be in Colombia for 2 weeks. I'm open to traveling to other spots as well.
Thanks for your help!

In the long run, steroids will do more harm than good.
Some Doctors are quick to prescribe a steroid. Always question if there is an alternative and if the dosage can be reduced etc.

Besides wiping out joint and back pain, steroids can fuck up your sugar levels and do other nasty shit to your internal organs. Be careful about using them when (strictly speaking) not necessary.

Posts: 5466Something that might help deal with the altitude.
Had to visit the doctor this week and was given a prescription for methylprednizone. It's a steroid anti-inflammatory drug. Besides wiping out joint and back pain, it also gives me a lot of energy. I've taken it several times in the past.
I don't know if you can get it without a prescription in Colombia. It might be worth a try to help deal with the Bogota altitude.

You most likely will not get a reply.
I posted the site on the map two weeks ago.
It has to be a very new place.
They have a Facebook page for the one in Bucaramanga and a Twitter page.

Posts: 484Mr Enternational, I've already told you why I'm not into nightclubs / stripcubs, who cares what you call them. I might go and check them out when I come back from the coast anyway, we'll see. I walked around the whole area in Santa Fe. I've been to many places in the world and have reported my experiences. I'm not apologising to you for asking a lot about Bogota. I have reported the where and when of my experiences. And like I said, I don't particularly care if the daytime scene in Santa Fe isn't what it used to be. I know what my taste in women is from personal experience. Anyway, you're just looking for negatives and I'm already bored of writing this reply!

P. S. I think the title nightclub in a conventional sense is a misnomer. It is just a brothel with music and naked chicks dancing on the stage. So it is more of a strip/fuck club than a night club.
Quite ironic that it was because of a video posted on youtube of the area that I wanted to come to Bogota in the first place! The area seemed much tidier and the chicas were way better looking on those videos!?
I always say a quality report contains where, when, and how much. A couple of months ago in the Medellin thread a guy asked a million questions and had a bunch of concerns same as Coupe. He went to Medellin and said what a shitty time he had. In the midst of all his concern, he forgot to ask or research the when. So he was going to casas at the time he should have been going to strip clubs, and going to strip clubs the time he should have been going to bars. He was all out of sync and wondering why places were closed or only had a couple of girls working.
When you look at a video you must remember that you don't know when they shot it and much like ISG posts you do not know the taste of the person that posted it. A million guys have talked about how they don't like Asian chicks. Then they get over here to Thailand and are like this is not what I expected. Exactly. Because experience is the best teacher and you can not go of the viewpoint that someone else put on display. You have to establish your own viewpoint by means of a thorough vetting of a place.

I told you from the beginning that you were overthinking everything. I am glad that you are enjoying yourself in Colombia. It is just a place with people as any other place with people on earth would be.
