Hi Patch
I glad you hava a dx, sorry it's MS. In the past I've done the IV steroids and become manic and ravenous. I am unable to sleep except for short bursts for a couple weeks, even with sleeping pills. Also, I take a med (prilosec/nexium) for my stomach so it's not as upset.

I've decided not to do it anymore as the sx that brought me too that point are still around when I get off my high. And I am overtired and fatter.

Everyone is different, so just try to track your bodies response this first time. I've also found that sucking on hard candy while being infused can dull the metallic-ey (sp") taste it leaves in my mouth.

Good luck, feel better soon.
