Oh, Jill, since you did get the RX from the ER doctor, there should be directions with it and that would be how I would use it, not varying at all. It's not worth it.
I'm sure sorry you are going thru this painful time. With the med, it should stop any progression but as soon as possible, I would get back into the doctor. When you call, make sure you let them know what is happening and they would be sure to make room for you rather than make you wait. Please let us know how you are and what is happening? We all care so much. Jeanne in Dayton -------Original Message------- From: Jill Z Date: 1/30/2009 8:08:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [TMIC] Exacerbation? Medrol Dose pack? Hi Everyone, I had another mild episode/exacerbation of TM the other night. I am a little weaker today than yesterday.(left leg weakness, right leg burning nerve pain) I couldn't get a hold of my regular neuro, but got a script for the Medrol dose pack from one of the docs in the ER. Normally my doc had me on 90mg to start, then taper down for a couple weeks. Should I take this lower dose? Is this better than nothing? Luckily this episode was not nearly as bad as the last one Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Jill
