IV steroids, for Multiple Sclerosis, is usually given for 3 to 5 days. Usually high dose steroids can stay in the system for a few weeks. Most Neurologist do not like to give steroids during the diagnostic process, the exception would be for vision problems such as Optic Neuritis.

When taking steroids you should increase your Potassium (orange juice, bananas, ect). It would not be a bad idea to have blood work to check your Electrolytes as steroids can deplete them.
