I’m writing in a larger font because I have been told that sometimes the smaller fonts are hard to read.
So sorry to hear about how bad things are going for you. I wanted to let you know that I married my husband seven years ago and I knew that I was becoming his full-time caregiver before marriage. We lived together for a few months before we got married. He was diagnosed in 1986. He was kinda like you. He woke up, went to stand up, and went to the floor. He tried to sit up and couldn’t. He was blind in both eyes, couldn’t speak, and was almost paralyzed on his right side. They put him in the hospital and had decided he had had a stroke. He had to wait many months for a diagnosis. When it came though there was nothing they could do for him back then. The numbness went away, his eyesight came back, and he was able to speak again. He had to walk with a cane though. When he met me, he could only walk short distances with a cane. He now is not able to walk at all.
You had a question about Solumedrol...he would have a dose every month for or more depending on if he was having an exacerbation or not and also how bad it was. He did this for about eight years. I would call you doc and get back on the Solumedrol.
Can anyone else answer the question about Solumedrol…
