Carol I too hatet the steroids every time, but looking back it kept me able to walk a little with canes, every time just before I was having trouble to do the most simple matters on my feet (toilet, bathing and dressing) . Still also after 11 years I go back this summer for a short treatment. Everytime after I felt sick for a few weeks, but it was worse it. The last time was more than three years ago. Every time now the benefits is longer and the total picture gives a study image. It also gives me a better state of mind, I can here now what my wife and gids are going to say, after the treatment..... SHUT UP! Wim from Holland

Hi all, I know some of you do not believe in going the steroid route, but when that's what your neurologist recommends and you are "getting worse", what is one suppose to do? Anyway, I will be receiving out-patient solumedrol next week, Mon-Fri. I hate steroids because they not only make my blood sugar out of control, they also make me crazy. I remember 2 years ago when I had this treatment, by day 3 all I did was cry. I was never so glad to get something out of my system as these steroids. My local neuro says either I am having a TM flair-up or I have MS and it just has not shown itself yet. Last week, I had a MRI of my brain and thoracic spine, with and without contrast and there was no change from 2 years ago, which is great news, but then WHY is my good leg getting worse???? It feels like it is shot full of Novocain from the knee down. When I met with Dr. Kerr 2 years ago, he said I definitely do not have MS and didn't think I would have any flair ups of TM. I am in a state of confusion. If I have MS like my local neuro thinks, don't you think it would be evident in my new MRI's? Wish me luck.
