It didn't help the pain and I didn't sleep. I didn't feel much relief; I was just drowsy when I got home.
Now I just took my Valium (an increased dosage rec. by docs) and Vicoprofen.
I took it about two hours ago and haven't felt any different yet. Also waiting to update my neurologist.

Update for Mark and about me- spoke to PCP this morning and he advised me to stop the steroid that was prescribed by my neurologist. I stopped it and hoping I feel better soon (symptoms are strong today) and hopefully it will subside by tomorrow. He told me to keep in touch. I also let neurologist's office know I stopped it because they also told me to keep in touch. And neurologist nurse just got in touch with me. Said I need to stick to the medrol dose pak and stop following up with my PCP (even though the ER told me to). Okay, so, any thoughts?
