Trish...wow...glad you were kind enough to help, but I am even gladder that you made sure to take care of yourself in that situation...

Kelly, hope your facial pain is not giving you problems...the hippo thing confused me too

I had my first IVSM yesterday afternoon...after about 10 minutes, I experienced a metallic taste in my mouth...later in the evening my stomach was burning, and my headache came back, off and on. I slept about 4 hours but as you see now I'm wide awake. I am hopeful that some of the stiffness I've been experiencing dissipates...I have the next two IVs scheduled already, and need to pick up my script for oral prednisone, as I'm scheduled to start them Saturday...
I was in denial all day yesterday...sat in my car in a parking lot telling myself, "I'm not that bad...I don't have MS...I don't need these drugs."

Now tell me, please, after almost 4 years of dealing with sxs, and wishing I could get an answer as to what was going on, why am I now not believing the doc? Is it fear? Or do I really believe I've overblown these sxs?
