5 day steroid infusion for numbness on left side
I'm on day 2 of this steroid treatment currently. Honestly it feels like it's getting worse. Anyone had this steroid infusion and seen positive/negative results? If not, then what was next?
Hi,
!
I am sorry your steroid infusion is not going too smoothly. It's not unusual to experience a variety of side effects, so you are not alone in feeling, well, not so great. I don't know which infusion you are receiving, but one of our health leaders shared her tips for making the best of a Solumedrol (steroid) infusion course -- https://multiplesclerosis.net/living-with-ms/tips-for-an-easier-round-of-solumedrol. And here's some basic information on corticosteroids that you may find helpful -- https://multiplesclerosis.net/treatment/corticosteroids. I do hope your symptoms settle down and please do check in with your doctor if your symptoms don't improve in the next day or so. Even if he/she thinks what you are experiencing is "normal", it's good to have any changes noted in your medical records and to make note of any side effects the treatment may be causing.
Best, Erin, Team Member.Yes. That's the one I am currently getting. iVSM as she refers. I'm just wondering what's the next option if this treatment fails....ps, thanks so much for response
