Relapse
Just got a 3 day course of steroids for a relapse and I am worse now than when I first started the steroids. Any thoughts or has anyone else experienced this?

Oh, steroids!!! How you vex me… Yes, I need you occasionally, to abate the onslaught of the Optic Neuritis, trying to steal my colors, and my vision. Alas, you wreck my brain though!! The steroids send my head into another dimension of confusion, and bit of aggression. It will take a full week for everything to calm down, again. Breathe! 🧘 You are okay, your body has been shocked into going into protect mode. Taking down swelling, and causing some side effect issues. Breathe 🧘♀️. You are going to be fine.
Keep reaching out, though! It’s good that you are checking what to expect. If things are still brutally bad, call your docs, or get to a hospital. If it is just head confusion, and your body just feeling out of sorts? Give it a few days to abate.
