Default Optic Neuritis getting worse with IVSM?

Talk about irony. The reason I was put on the steroids right away was because the ON in my left eye. I am on day 4 of 5 of the IVSM.

I swear I woke up this morning and now both eyes are acting up. Before it was only my left eye.

Oh the nurse finally came out yesterday and moved the IV after my vein blew and my hand is still swollen from where it filled with IVSM.

Side effects so far: mood swings, nausea, hot flashes, cold sweats, indigestion, the shakes, fatigue, heartburn, lack of sleep, and a over powering urge to beat the crap out of somebody. Oh let's not forget the blood sugar yo yo that's making me nuts. lethargic and depressed.

ON has worsened, I have seen no change in the numbness and my balance is getting worse too. I think it is safe to say I don't believe the IVSM is working. But I am prescribed one more day and I will finish it.
