#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 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?

I’m stressing. I’ve had RRMS for 10 years. Both MS nurses resigned recently at my hospital. 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 ...
