#steroids - Shift.ms

Steroids are often prescribed by neurologists to treat MS relapses. Steroids can be given orally or intravenuously. They are not a disease modifying treatment, but can speed up recovery from a relapse for people with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis.

After effects of steroids...normal?!

Hi, I posted a while ago, thank you to those of you who replied (",) I ended a 5 day course of daily 500mg methylprednisolone on 27th August and felt dreadful for a week or so after stopping.

For the ladies Steroids, Periods

*update I'm pregnant 😥* scared!! Hello ladies, I'm wondering if having IV steroids for 4 days can delay periods I'm late on for 19 days now. I had IV steroids in hospital 3 weeks ago, I'm trying not to worry myself. Scared to take a test at the moment too! Thank you x

Steroids and blurry vision

Has anyone noticed blurry vision after they got an IV steroid treatment and oral prednisone? I didn't notice boy vision till after the steroids and I'm not sure if that's normal or if my eyes are just getting worse from MS

Steroids - new NICE guidance?

I am currently taking steroid tablets over 5 days at home. Those were prescribed by GP (it wasn't easy to get prescription) for very serious relapse - I wasn't able to walk. What is concerning, that my MS nurse advised me not to take them, only wait and see, maybe it will improve by itself! And that...
