When I go for my steroids on monday, should I ask them to check me for a UTI beforehand? I'm only asking because I just feel something (a scent) in that area that is making me think that maybe there's something going on...nothing full blown, but am just wondering if I should check that before I let them give me the steroids...

Kind of wondering if the steroids will make a UTI worse...or make any antibiotics kind of useless.

Or is this something they'd be checking on anyways before I get the infusion?

Also, should I take anything with me to do during the infusion? I've got my Kindle e-reader, some knitting/crocheting stuff, and a laptop and some movies. I probably will save the laptop and movies for the last day.

Is it seriously boring to have an infusion?

My vision changed some this morning before I went to bed (didnt fall asleep till 4am) I could see almost normally for about a half hour, and then at some point, I moved my eyes to look sideways, and my eye felt like it was loose in my head and the double vision was just really weird looking. (cant describe it)
