Hi, I’m have a relapse because of my amalgam removals . How long does it take , when will numbness go walking properly and my bits back to Normal . Not been around much as I’ve been on the high dose steroids for 5 days , when is recovery insight lol ! Does anyone else feel like crap on steroids ? I have and it’s thrown my body out and hormones ! Nightmare lol I still am trying to work out the secrets or hacks to living with ms ! Not easy . I notice if I have any argument I immediately feel weak / shakeynerves affected so that’s one is it the same for you lot ? What makes it better with ms ? Love and light to you all Rachael xx

Yes steroids make you feel like crap they also make you super hungry Not to mention you retain water that’s why you have to be careful with your sodium levels that’s the most important thing. And when your hungry eat almonds, bananas anything healthy and filling

@rachaellouise , Steroids can lead you on a merry dance, giving you highs and lows, interfering with your sleep, etc. But, these are all very short term, whilst the Steroids are damping down the inflammation causing the relapse. You now have to concentrate on resting and relaxing, to allow your body to try and recover the damage that has been caused. In this respect, your brain will be working hard for you, so any other stimulation, e.g. an argument, could lead to an overload. So rest up, chill out and give your body a chance to fix itself.
