Also have many neuropathy problems, MS and now at least one other auto-
immune (Collagenous Colitis) plus allergies of various types. I am quite sure
that they are all connected. I have had varied success with prednisone,
doximethazone and Solumedrol, each time different, some bad, others very
helpful. It can't hurt to try, but don't start on or right before a weekend.
You may just need to be in touch with Dr's office! Good luck.
