I'm sorry to hear you've had a rough time .... but there really isn't anything that I know of that they can do for you. You have had 4 doses of steroids (1000 mg?), and that is what they use to treat ON.

I ride out all my attacks without steroids, and although it (perhaps) takes longer to recover, most times I recover with very little damage:

"Conclusion: Our observations suggest that OPT following treatment with IVMP for an MS relapse does not lead to improved neurologic outcome after 12 months compared with treatment with IVMP only. Moreover, our findings raise concerns regarding the common practice of using OPT following IVMP. Further studies are indicated to validate our findings and minimize exposure to systemic corticosteroids, well known for systemic toxicity..."

In fact, MOST attacks don't result in permanent damage:
