well i am about 3 months post-steroids and am doing great! got rid of the wheelchair a few weeks back, can drive again, and saw my neuro doc in detroit(who prescribed the tysabri), and she did not have a problem with me getting steroids to get me out of the relapse, which makes me think the nurse was the problem, most likely not consulting with the neuro dr. so if i have to talk to the neuro doc again, i won't bother talking to the nurse, i will only speak to the doc...
i had a bout of uti, now i have a kit to perform self caths if i feel i am not emptying my bladder fully

now back to working on my sciatic nerve problem
