my neuro finally called me back. I asked about the steroids...he was going to give me oral steroids (eww! and, arent you supposed to NOT take oral steroids for vision problems??)

So, after talking to him for a bit, and him realizing that I've read the ONTT (Optic Neuritis Treatment Trial) and that I'm not comfortable taking the oral for a vision problem....he's trying to get a steroid infusion set up for me.

He actually called my regular doctor to see if they can do it in their offices...(very close to my house) I'm betting they wont do it in their office, but will probably find me a nice close infusion center to have them done at.

I'll have to remember to show my regular doctor my membership to the exercise place, so that he'll see that I tried to start doing the exercises he wanted me to do the last time I saw him a few weeks ago. Maybe he'll still give me the LDN? (knock on wood...or particle board...there's wood in particle board isnt there? can it still be lucky if you're knocking on particle board?)

I'm wondering if they'll be able to do it tomorrow? Or if I have to wait over the weekend before they'll hook me up to a bag of steroids?

I am not looking forward to the side effects. Last time I had steroids (of the oral kind) I ended up with a rather icky infection of the female kind AND a staph (MRSA) infection in my nose. I hope that I dont get anything nasty like those.

I've never had IV steroids...can anyone tell me what it's like...is it as bad as the doctors make it out to be??
