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. Looked like possible adrenal insufficiency but my MS contact made little of of it... That wore off but I a...

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 skincare…

Hi gang, just a wee quick one - does anybody else experience spotty skin during/after steroids? Unsure if I’m suddenly covered due to the steroids themselves or the copious amount of crisps I ate while I was taking them 🙄

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...

Relapse when Ocrevus treatment in 3 weeks - can I have steroids?

My Ocrevus treatment was never scheduled, luckily I rang to find out what was happening, so I’m a month late having the infusion. Now a relapse… Does anyone know if I should even consider steroids it being ...

Fix up; Look sharp (steroids remix).

So, next month I am going to a good friends wedding. Like the main event, meal and everything. I haven't told many people about my diagnosis and in an attempt to get my head around wtf is going on I have been a hermit. Therefore, a very small select group have seen me walk like Mr Soft or know I ...

Steroids!!

So I’ve had my second flare up and did the bucket full of steroids this weekend to calm the flareup. Has anybody else had an issue with feeling like other things flare up as you come off of the steroid? Example right now my lower back has been numb all day, and I haven’t had that symptom before. It ...
