Steroid treatment - your experience?

Hi all, I'm experiencing my first relapse since diagnosis last June, and am about to go for my first round of steroid treatment. Keen to hear about other MSers experiences with steroids - IV or oral - to help me make my decision on treatment. Any help or thoughts would be great. Thanks :)

@JessieB , here's some details about the steroids:- http://www.mstrust.org.uk/atoz/steroids.jsp Be very aware that after a couple of days, you may feel like superwoman. This euphoric feeling doesn't last and can be followed by the "Steroid crash", when you come back to where you were. The steroids prescribed are not an immediate fix. However, they will be working with your body over the course of the following 6-8 weeks to help you recover. So be patient, and be good to yourself. Good luck.

@JessieB , and keep some mints to hand. Just in case you get the metallic taste in your mouth. :wink:
