Erin - You may have something else going on besides the MS, maybe an infection (which taking steroids won't help). One of my local MS buddies was feeling poorly. She finally went to the ER because she thought she was having a flare. Turns out, she had a bad bladder infection which caused the flare. She was in the hospital for a couple of weeks and then a week of rehab. She had no clue that she had a bladder infection. Sometimes, it's an infection somewhere else in the body that we don't realize we have. Maybe schedule an appointment with your PCP and have some blood work done to make sure all is ok and normal.
