I have done both oral and IV steroids. When I did oral it was 600 mg per day for 5 days (not 25) and then a taper of 50 for 5 days, then 25 for 5 days, etc. When I have done the IV it was 1,000 mg for 3 days. So, I agree with the others that your dose wasn't high enough for MS.

Also, I never had any kind of real improvement for a week or maybe even 2 or 3. My neuro said was quite normal for it to take that kind of time to show improvement.
