HI Bluesfan,

I believe it is predisone infusion for 5 days. He said this is safer than taking tablets.

It was just by chance that I saw this neurologist, there are 3 at our hospital. I didn't like him at first as he seemed quite rude and think he was having a bad day! Before this neuro, I saw another private one who didn't have a clue what was wrong with me, I paid about £700 for him to tell me it wasn't MS and must be all anxiety. I went back and saw him again after I saw the NHS Dr, and told him that the nhs one thought it could be SFN, he told me probably better to see him as he is a SFN world wide specialist, every one raves about him that he is the best, so there aren't many of them around! This is why I am sharing everything he is doing for me on here, as if we all share our experiences then this may possibly help others who don't have such a pro-active neuro.
