I was diagnosed with MS in 2004. Here is an example of one of my relapses, where I am prescribed a course of IV Steroids. This was not my most severe, and not my most mild either. I will talk more in coming videos, about my other relapses.

  • when i had a relaspe that my chest wall is still numb my doctor still did not use steroids i was perplexed by this. its been 1.5 months now and still the same he did order mri for check for thoraic lesion. he stated he does not always prescribe steriods i do not understand if it is to increase my ability to get well faster? i question alot of what he does sometimes i know i am a hard pt i was a RN before so its like the dr seem to make it harder on me any comment please wright me michelle

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • @saffiyah06 tanx for da info ur a star.

  • @saffiyah06 Google LDN Ireland. Keep well!

  • @holobody wats LDN and do u no if is it available in ireland?

  • 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.
