I've seen people with like there hands and muscle deformed and kind of upside down . Is that MS???

I had the exact same symptoms with the double vision, numbness of the hands and left side of the face. I was weak and could not walk or eat without assistance. It lasted about 2 and a half months. I was put on steroids injection and then prednisone. Never again will I take the prednisone because after I was done with my pills it seemed as though I had new symptoms like very weakness and shaking tremors along with pain in my shoulder, back and fingers. Depression and mood swings came also.

I hope everyone has heard of LDN, a tiny dose of a conventional approved drug. In thousands of fellow patients it has stopped all progress of MS.

Is the relapse affecting your life? If it is, then I would insist that you want steroids. If the answer is no, then I would not ask for the steroids.
Also, and I know people disagree with me, but i don't think it is necessary to have MRI's each time we have a relapse. I feel it can have a negative effect where we are thinking, 'oh crap, I have another lesion. Things are getting worse.'
Do you have an MS nurse as well?
