So, does that sound right, that if the oral pred doesn't work it's most likely not MS?? |
Hello, Freesia.
My neuro always has me take off my socks. Even when I went to a different neuro my socks came off.
The of oral prednisone you were taking was a very small amount and if you have MS would
possibly not be enough. Most with MS have a very high dose of steroids by IV.
I used oral prednisone years ago. I am not positive but I believe my dosage was somewhere around 40 or 60 mg.
My daughter has used oral prednisone for her asthma and the dosage was 10 mg.
Steroids are anti-inflammatory. Steroids working or not does not indicate MS.
