My first round of steroids was like a miracle. Really lightened the symptoms and gave me some energy but the more I took them, the worse I felt. I ended up being on monthly pulse dosing for two years plus three rounds of 5 days additionally during that time.

As Sally said, I don't think it worsens the MS but it can ultimately weaken you and affect cardiac status and metabolism and weight gain and can reach a point in some people where it has worse side effects than those of the illness for which it is being given.

Sorry you're feeling badly. Glad you've found us.
