About 6 weeks ago i had a relapse affecting my hands and legs. My neuro gave me steroids but asked me to wait a few days before taking them to see if my body could improve on its own. Anyway that weekend my legs improved but not hands. My neuro nurse said because my legs were better that was a sign ...

Steroids for relapse. Experiences please

I am in the midst of my first noticeable flare up. Last year I was seen in a relapse clinic, although my symptoms were not as bad as they are currently! I turned down steroids because I had a very low mood at the time and I did not want to face being on a downer after I came off the steroids. I was ...

Coping with metal taste on steroids?

Hi! I'm currently on methylprednisolone and ugh, I can never stand the metal taste. It's so awful not even being able to drink water without being disgusted! What's your method of dealing with the taste? I keep mints in my pocket and snack on lemons when I can. Anyone have their own favourites for ...

I'll be starting a 5 day course of methylprednisolone (500 mg per day) tomorrow and was wondering if it'll cause any weight gain? Has anyone experienced any issues in regards to this?

Steroids

Any advice for counteracting any of the nasty side effects of steroids? I'm about to start my first oral dose (500mg once a day for 5 days). Had IV before and felt crappy for a week, but this is the first dose via tablets. Am I right in thinking it's best to take them in the morning? Thanks
